Daniel Webster is ringing a bell.

This person has been mentioned before, but it's not Daniel Webster

Alexander Stephens.
RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 01-15-2026
Henry Clay?
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 01-15-2026
Steve got it right. Congratulations!
I hadn't even started the more informative clues yet.
My source is "Lincoln in Private" by Ronald White
Your prize is the esteem of your fellow members of the forum, and to advance to the next round of trivia here on the Lincoln Symposium.
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 03-17-2026
Abraham Lincoln is buried at a large tomb in Springfield, Illinois. Mary Lincoln, and three of their four sons are buried there.
Over the years there have been many repairs, renovations and updates made to his tomb.
Yet, there is one more person who was buried here. Who is it?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 03-17-2026
James Matheny?
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 03-17-2026
James Matheny is buried in the same cemetery as Abraham Lincoln (Oak Ridge) according to Find A Grave, but he is not interred in Lincoln's tomb.
Also according to Find A Grave - His (Matheny's) popularity was unequaled & his funeral was said to have been the largest in Springfield since that of Abraham Lincoln.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 03-17-2026
Robert Todd Lincoln's son Jack was buried there for a while, if my memory is correct.
Best
Rob
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 03-17-2026
Very good Rob!
Jack's given name is Abraham Lincoln II. He died at the age of 16.
He was buried in the Lincoln Tomb for 40 years before his mother had his remains removed to Arlington Cemetery where he was buried next to his parents.

RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 06-13-2026
That looks like Aunt Bee's best friend Clara from The Andy Griffin Show. She looks a little bit older in Rogers picture than in mine.

Amazing what period clothing, a little makeup, a different hairstyle and a vivid imagination can do.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 06-13-2026
I may see a resemblance, but it's not Aunt Bee's friend.

Hannah Armstrong?
