David Herold's mother?

Not mother but maybe one of the Herold sisters? Again, I have seen this photo, and fairly recently. I just can't read the caption in my mind's eye...

Hint #2: Of the guesses so far, Susan's is the closest.

Thomas Kearney · 02-26-2018, 09:40 AM

May Alice Nelson, sister of David Herold

Eva Elisabeth · 02-26-2018, 10:00 AM

Herold's sister would have been my next guess, too.

RJNorton · 02-26-2018, 10:18 AM

I am sorry, Thomas and Eva, but it is not a sister of David Herold.

RJNorton · 02-26-2018, 12:51 PM

Hint #3: Susan is correct in that it is someone's mother (just not David Herold's).

Susan Higginbotham · 02-26-2018, 02:07 PM

Lewis Powell's mum?

RJNorton · 02-26-2018, 02:54 PM

Nope, not Lewis Powell.

Can we assume that this mother is not related to a conspirator?

RJNorton · 02-26-2018, 05:55 PM

Please do not make that assumption.

I've been doing some research on the Mudds recently, so I will take a stab at Mrs. Henry Lowe Mudd, but I'm not sure that the photo dates back far enough to show her in younger years.

Congratulations, Laurie! Yes, it is Dr. Samuel Mudd's mother, Sarah Ann Reeves Mudd.

This man is looking out a window. What is the name of the building he is in?

Susan Higginbotham · 03-01-2018, 09:46 AM

Office of the Commissary General of Prisoners; man is possibly Louis Weichmann.
