I do not know the height of the person who measured Lincoln.

Lincoln stood against a surface, and the person marked his height on it.
I can't come up with a name without Google, but was it the soldier he met with that was nearly as tall as Lincoln?
Nope, that isn't the person, Joe.
Was it one of the "Long Nine" ?
Nope, it was not one of the Long Nine, Gene.
Could it be his Tailor?
Nope, Joe, it wasn't his tailor.
A bootmaker? He'd have to remove his shoes then.
Steve, you are right about removing the shoes, but the person measuring Lincoln was not a bootmaker.
Did this happen before or after Lincoln was elected president?

Best
Rob
After.
Was it a doctor at his autopsy?
Nope, the correct answer was not a doctor.

The person has been mentioned previously on this forum. It's not a new name.
Was it Lincoln's bootmaker? He was a German immigrant. Maybe last name of Kahle or something like that?
Ward Hill Lamon ?
