RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-29-2013
I'm aware, "Henry and Clara" is no reliable source, on the other hand the author claims to stick close to research. Mallon "suggests", amongst others, one trip to Europe (Paris) in 1876. Still Pendel refers to Ohio (where "Mrs Lincoln was living"), too. How could that be explaained then?

I'm becoming more convinced that it's Pendel's recall that's the problem. He was born in 1824 so he was 78 when the book was published. Maybe he was just confused.
Eva, Thanks for directing me to earlier discussions on this forum about whether Rathbone actually worked for the State Dept. on assignment in Germany.

Who is this lady?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-30-2013
Hint#1: The sketch is from 1863.
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 08-30-2013
wild guess ...Fanny Seward?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-30-2013
Mrs. Cranston Laurie?
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 08-30-2013
Josie Rehman?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-30-2013
All good guesses, indeed, but I'm sorry, none is correct. Roger's is the closest.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-30-2013
Eva, the other spiritualist (medium) who comes to mind is Nettie Colburn.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-30-2013
Very good, Roger, this is her.
Here's some info on the topic:

Your prize is a crystal ball. I hope it'll provide only the best for the future.

Just received this: Thank you for contacting the Ohio Historical Society Research Services Department. We have not been able to find any source that suggests that Mary Todd Lincoln ever visited Poe, Ohio.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-30-2013
Anita, thank you for checking on this. I was 99% certain she never lived in Poe, Ohio, but I hesitated to go to 100%. You just never know on some things. We have a forum member, Cyndy Irvine, who discovered a trip Mary made that I am pretty certain is not in any Mary Lincoln book I own. I do believe it's a new discovery, and Cyndy posted about it here. Cyndy's published article is online here.
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 08-30-2013
Roger, I see what you mean. I am learning! Thank you so much for these links. What an amazing discovery Cindy has made. It's a fascinating story. Mary was a traveler before but especially after Lincoln's death. More will be revealed about places she's visited, maybe even Poe, Ohio!
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 09-06-2013
Who is this gentleman?
Hint#1: He occured for a brief period during Abraham Lincoln's presidency.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 09-06-2013
Francis Fisher Browne?
