You got it Roger, well done.
Next clue was to do with a loan to someone.

The image's background and your clue about pointing made me think it was possibly Grenville Dodge.

One of the men included in several of the Abraham Lincoln deathbed illustrations also visited Mary Lincoln when she was confined at Bellevue Place in 1875. I am not referring to Robert Lincoln. What was this gentleman's name?

Nope, it wasn't Judge Davis.

All guesses so far are very logical, but according to my sources, none of them were at Lincoln's side as he passed away at the Petersen House.
