RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-26-2017
Hint #1: The photo was taken by R. Gerald McMurtry.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 09-26-2017
Abraham's younger brother, Thomas Lincoln Jr.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-27-2017
Excellent, Steve. Little Tommy's gravesite was discovered in 1933 by workers in the Works Progress Administration. A temporary marker was placed on the site. Little Tommy's grave is located on private land. Dennis Hanks said that Tommy "did not live 3 days." Augustus H. Chapman, a Lincoln family relative by marriage, said Tommy "died when only 3 days old."
Several years ago a gentleman named Otis Wayne Miller sent me this photo:

Otis Wayne Miller, age 4, pictured with Little Tommy's original gravestone in 1958.
The stone has the initials T.L. carved into it, and it is felt these initials were carved by Tommy's father, Thomas Lincoln.

Lincoln often felt awkward and uncomfortable around women, especially those of higher social status, but there was a woman he met after he moved to Springfield. She made him feel at ease. He enjoyed her company and wrote to her. They remained friends into his White House years. Who was she?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-03-2017
Anna Caesaria Rodney?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 10-03-2017
A good possibility Roger but you'll need to try again. Lincoln met this woman before he met Mary Todd.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Susan Higginbotham - 10-03-2017
Mrs. Orville Browning?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Anita - 10-04-2017
Yes Susan, it is indeed Mrs. Eliza Caldwell Browning. Go here to read how they met and details of their friendship over the years.

Here's a tidbit. " In April 1838 Mr. Lincoln had written Mrs. Browning a long, saucy letter about his relationship with Mary Owens."
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-04-2017
This photograph shows a bearded man with a top hat who is sitting and looking out on a river. The caption of the photo claimed that the man was Abraham Lincoln. However, the man in the photo is not Lincoln.
In what state was this photograph taken?

Off the top of my head, I am thinking that President Lincoln only visited VA, MD,PA. I'll say VA.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 10-05-2017
Pennsylvania?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2017
I am sorry, Mike and Eva, but it's not Virginia or Pennsylvania.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Wild Bill - 10-05-2017
New York
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 10-05-2017
West Virginia
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 10-05-2017
Maryland? (Despite I'd guess France...)
