RE: Assassination Trivia - Gene C - 05-17-2016
Was he one of the traveling undertakers for the trip back to Springfield?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-17-2016
Gene, that is sure a logical guess, but he was not one of those folks.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 05-17-2016
Thought of one of the plumbers.

This is close!
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 05-17-2016
One of those Kees mentioned here:

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-18-2016
Eva, not that post. Here is where Kees mentioned the name of the man in the photo Blaine sent:

Now try to think of something that happened there that more than one man claimed to do.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 05-18-2016
Col. George V. Rutherford as one of those who claimed to have placed the silver half-dollars on Lincoln's eyes?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-18-2016
Brilliant, Eva! This was a tough question.
At least four men claimed to have placed coins over Lincoln's eyes: Dr. Charles Augustus Leale, John L. Bolton, Colonel George V. Rutherford, and Colonel Thomas McCurdy Vincent.
Once again, thanks to Blaine for sending the photo.
Eva, I cannot think of a prize for this - I'll simply wish you a wonderful day.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-05-2016
As far as I know this is the only memorial CDV for a Lincoln conspirator - who was the conspirator? (the name has been cropped out)

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-05-2016
It's beautiful. I try my fellow countryman first - Atzerodt?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-05-2016
Excellent, Eva! Indeed George Atzerodt is correct. Many thanks to Blaine for sending it. He found it in an antique shop in Gettysburg.
You win a beautiful and warm summer in Germany.

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-05-2016
It looked German to me - I realize that doesn't mean it doesn't look American either...
Love the prize!
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-08-2016
Who is this man?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-08-2016
Wild guess - Lew Wallace?
