RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-30-2018
Nope, not the Dixons.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Susan Higginbotham - 05-30-2018
Elizabeth Blair Lee and Samuel Philips Lee?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-30-2018
Nope, not Elizabeth Blair Lee and Samuel Philips Lee.
Hint #2: The last names of both people begin with a vowel.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 05-30-2018
Arnold? Samuel's parents?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-30-2018
Excellent, Eva! Kudos. Yes, these two people are George and Mary Jane Arnold, Sam Arnold's parents. I really thought I was going to have to give more hints!
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 05-30-2018
I feel so stupid! Surratt House Museum actually had the original portraits of the Arnolds for years until a descendant came forward to claim them. We were happy to send them home with family since they were large, in need of conservation, and not appropriate for any of our displays.
Wouldn't you think my brain would remember those faces? However, in my defense, the portraits were in bad condition and they left the building about 25 years ago... Does that work as an excuse?

At our age, yes indeed!

I had to look the word up!

Who is this?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Gene C - 06-08-2018
I've seen that picture before, hmm?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-08-2018
Hint #1: It's a familiar name on this forum.
RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 06-08-2018
That is a sullen Lewis Thornton Powell, who looks none too happy about having to sit still on his mother's lap...
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-08-2018
Yes, Laurie! Kudos. That is a very young Lewis Powell.

RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 06-08-2018
Mom is one of the prettiest woman I've seen a photo of from the era.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 06-10-2018
Who is this man?
