RE: Assassination Trivia - Susan Higginbotham - 02-25-2018
David Herold's mother?

Not mother but maybe one of the Herold sisters? Again, I have seen this photo, and fairly recently. I just can't read the caption in my mind's eye...
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-26-2018
Hint #2: Of the guesses so far, Susan's is the closest.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Thomas Kearney - 02-26-2018
May Alice Nelson, sister of David Herold
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 02-26-2018
Herold's sister would have been my next guess, too.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-26-2018
I am sorry, Thomas and Eva, but it is not a sister of David Herold.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-26-2018
Hint #3: Susan is correct in that it is someone's mother (just not David Herold's).
RE: Assassination Trivia - Susan Higginbotham - 02-26-2018
Lewis Powell's mum?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-26-2018
Nope, not Lewis Powell.
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 02-26-2018
Can we assume that this mother is not related to a conspirator?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-26-2018
Please do not make that assumption.

I've been doing some research on the Mudds recently, so I will take a stab at Mrs. Henry Lowe Mudd, but I'm not sure that the photo dates back far enough to show her in younger years.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 02-27-2018
Congratulations, Laurie! Yes, it is Dr. Samuel Mudd's mother, Sarah Ann Reeves Mudd.

This man is looking out a window. What is the name of the building he is in?

Office of the Commissary General of Prisoners; man is possibly Louis Weichmann.
