List of Ford's Theatre Attendees

[Anita]

Joe, many thanks for creating the wonderful Lincoln eyewitness assassination project and making it free to all. Thanks also to those who who have done amazing research to add and update names here.

I found the name Joseph H Hazleton on your list with this reference. https://www.newspapers.com/image/8521904...852190440/
*note the different spelling of his name below.

Here's another reference to add for Hazelton: It's a wax digital recording of his eye witness account. The Huntington Library digital collection: Title An eyewitness account of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Creator Hazelton, Joseph H., 1855-1936, witness.

Physical Description1 sound disk (11 min., 54 sec.)Description Phonograph record of Hazelton's reminiscence of Lincoln's assassination. The written version of this account first appeared in the February 1927 issue of Ladies Home Journal. The recording was made in 1933 at Freeman Lang's studios on Hollywood, Calif. There are some inaccuracies. Hazelton noted that the Lincolns' arrived to the theater during the second act, although the majority of the eyewitnesses place their arrival at 8:30, half hour into the performance. He also erroneously listed the Surgeon General Joseph K. Barnes among the guests in Lincoln's box. Hazelton added, as if it were a matter of fact, the fictitious story that John Wilkes Booth managed to escape to South America, later to return to the United States and commit suicide in 1903.
Notes Joseph H. Hazelton (1855- 1936), was a prominent stage and screen actor who in 1865 was a program boy at the Ford's Theater. The recording was made for Transco. 16 inch shellac disk; the matrix number is A1087, etched in the wax. The author's name is spelled "Hazleton." A copy on CD is available. All inquiries regarding this recording should be directed to the Norris Foundation Curator of American Historical Manuscritps Subjects Booth, John Wilkes, 1838-1865.
