Joe, it's not Brady; Eva, the man did not have anything to do (as far as I know) with Mary Lincoln.

Kudos, Eva! Indeed it is Lew Wallace. Wallace led a very active life which included serving on the military commission in 1865 after Lincoln's assassination.

Kudos, Joe. Yes, it's Harry Hawk. Hawk was the actor on stage at Ford's when John Wilkes Booth shot the President.

RE: Assassination Trivia
When John Wilkes Booth shot his father at Ford's Theatre, Tad was at Grover's Theatre watching "Aladdin or The Wonderful Lamp." He was accompanied by Alphonso Donn, one of the group of Metropolitan Washington police officers assigned to the White House.

Also in the audience at Grover's was a person whose name became a part of the Lincoln assassination saga. Who was this?
