Next clue. Both Tarbell and Sandburg knew him well.

Next clue: In 1902, two of his brothers died in a murder-suicide case.

I wish I could make an intelligent guess, but I, for one, am clueless on this.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 09-25-2019
OK, I'll add another clue.
His other connection to Lincoln studies came from Albert J. Beveridge.

Next clue. Even though he was born in Brooklyn, he is more closely associated with Boston.

Connected to a Mr Beveridge, born in Brooklyn, associated with Boston ...
Does his name start with a B ?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 09-26-2019
I looked in Thomas' Portrait for Posterity, and Worthington C. Ford is mentioned several times in the Albert Beveridge chapter. So I shall guess Ford.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 09-26-2019
Sorry Mike, but I'm not that clever.
Roger nailed it. It is Worthington Chauncey Ford. Tarbell and Sandburg knew him because Ford worked with Paul Angle and Oliver Barrett to prove the Wilma Minor letters forgeries. While he knew Beveridge for several years, it was Ford that Catherine Eddy Beveridge chose to finish her husband's second volume on Lincoln.
I didn't use this clue, but Ford was a direct descendant of Noah Webster on his mother's side. In 1902 his brother, Malcolm, shot and killed another brother, Paul Leicester Ford, who was a novelist and biographer. Here is the New York Times account of the murder.

This one could either be fairly simple or not. Who is this person?

Philip Kunhardt?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 09-28-2019
A much younger David McCullough than in the photos we are most used to seeing?
RE: Who is this person? - Joe Di Cola - 09-28-2019
A young Wayne Temple
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 09-28-2019
Wow. I think this is one of the few times I haven't had to give a clue for a question. Joe is correct that this is a younger Wayne "Doc" Temple, who in February turned 95. I found this picture in the University of Illinois website, but I have to admit that a desire to brag just a bit prompted this question. This year the University of Illinois Press published Doc's dissertation that he wrote in 1956 on Noah Brooks, finishing it after the death of his original advisor James G. Randall. Michael Burlingame wrote the introduction to the book and cited in one of the footnotes the article yours truly wrote on Randall and Carl Sandburg. I found it humbling to be mentioned in the same citation as Temple and Harry E. Pratt.

(If you click on the Google Preview, you can read the introduction and see the citation).
Congrats, Joe. I'm going to have to search far and wide to find something I can stump you with.
