I used an older edition of the Journal of the Lincoln Assassination as the source for most of the names.

Hint #3:

9. A

People aren't exactly jumping at this one, so I'll just give the answer. Fred Hatch had an article on this subject about 3 years ago in the Journal of the Lincoln Assassination. The prize would have been free drinks for your entire party at Taltavul's, but we'll have to save that for a later time.

What is this lady looking for?

[Rob Wick]

Well, she's dowsing, but other than for water, I don't know specifically for what.

Wait. Is she looking for Booth's body?

Best
Rob

[Gene C]

She just got back from a carribean cruise and she's looking for a working bathroom?

[J. Beckert]

I've seen that picture on the forum before, but I can't remember exactly. Does it have something to do with the Garrett farm?

[RJNorton]

Of the three guesses so far, Rob is the one who is on the right track.

P.S. The prize for this is a free cruise.

[Thomas Thorne]

Dear Roger
Considering the recent travails at Carnival Cruises,could you please supply the winner with a trip to Andersonville instead?

Didn't it have something to do with Michael O'Laughlen?

[RJNorton]

You win, Dawn! Kudos. She is looking for the grave of Michael O'Laughlen.

I was going to present the winner with a free cruise, but I do not have the heart (or nose) to do it. Rather, Dawn, I will present you with a certificate good for a free drink of your choice at Taltavul's Star Saloon.
