RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-08-2016
Brilliant, Eva. That is correct.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-08-2016
Thanks, Eva. He received other honors as well. For example, the Republic of San Marino bestowed honorary citizenship on Lincoln on May 7, 1861.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 09-08-2016
San Marino is nice - and a tax heaven...
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 09-08-2016
Good thing the degree wasn't from ITT.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 09-22-2016
Probably no challenge, but who is (was) this gentleman?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-22-2016
Is this gentleman from Ohio?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 09-22-2016
Very smart, Roger - yes!
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-22-2016
Did he have a daughter who was orginally called "Girlie" for 2 1/2 years?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - STS Lincolnite - 09-22-2016
William T Coggeshall?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 09-22-2016
Roger, I only know the nickname "Prokie" (ouch...), but I am sure you have the right persi and in mind. Kudos, Scott, that is correct. The photo is of 1861. My idea of a colonel has always been "older", mid-fifties or more advanced.
You both win a last glimpse of summer:

Yes, Eva. Here's the story:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Did you know a baby girl born in Ohio during the Civil War was named Emancipation Proclamation?
It’s true!
Her father was journalist and publisher William T. Coggeshall (1824-1867), who served as State Librarian of Ohio from 1856 to 1862. During the first year of the Civil War, Coggeshall worked directly for Ohio governor William Dennison as well.
Through Dennison, Coggeshall became friends with President Abraham Lincoln. (In fact, according to his wife Mary, Coggeshall may have even foiled an early Lincoln assassination attempt.)
William and Mary had a total of six children. One of those six, a baby girl, arrived on September 20, 1862.
On the same day his daughter was born, Coggeshall received a telegram from Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase. The telegram revealed that President Lincoln had finished the final draft of his Emancipation Proclamation.
Coggeshall, an ardent Lincoln supporter, wanted to choose a baby name that commemorated the occasion. But he didn’t want to name his daughter before the Union took back Richmond, Virginia–the capital of the Confederacy.
Until then, they would call the baby “Girlie.”
The Emancipation Proclamation was signed and issued on January 1, 1863, but Richmond didn’t fall until April 3, 1865.
On that day, Coggeshall’s two-and-a-half year old daughter was finally named Emancipation Proclamation Coggeshall.
A schoolteacher later nicknamed her “Prockie,” though family members continued to call her “Girlie.”

If I had been that schoolteacher, I would have called her "Emani." That seems a tad more gentle.

Cogshell was just ahead of his time.
He was just trying to protect his young daughter, who grew up with several brothers. He probably didn't want her to become confused
over her gender identity.

Point taken, Gene, but I think Coggeshall fathered all girls.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 09-23-2016
Well, my mistake, I hope I didn't confuse anyone.
