RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-01-2018 05:36 PM Whose (more precisely than the stone) grave is this? [attachment=2894] RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-02-2018 02:00 AM Hint #1: I will answer yes/no questions. Hint #2: This is both, an assassination as well as a general Lincoln trivia. RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-02-2018 03:51 AM One of the ladies who came to comfort Mary Lincoln at the Petersen House...the grave of Mrs. Dixon? RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-02-2018 07:19 AM Very good guess, Roger, but (you are right as for the gender) the lady to my knowledge wasn't at Peterson House. RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-02-2018 08:43 AM Is it the grave of David Homer Bates' wife? RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-02-2018 02:59 PM Sorry for delay - another smart guess, Roger, but not she. Hint #3: It was the wife of someone "we" know from prior to the assassination. The lady however had a special appearance in the "aftermath" of the assassination. RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-02-2018 03:10 PM I am now thinking Adele Cutts. RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-02-2018 03:51 PM Brilliant, Roger - well deserved victory. She was the widow of Stephen Douglas and went to see Johnson on Mary Surratt's behalf to no avail. [attachment=2895] PS: Thanks much again to Bill B. for the photo! RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-03-2018 03:47 PM I am finally giving up to "photoshop" this image to make it Google-proof (doesn't work), so I beg you to play fair and not resent to simply image search. Who is depicted here? [attachment=2896] RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-03-2018 05:26 PM Osborn Oldroyd? RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 08-03-2018 07:58 PM Ok, Eva. I have no specific idea ... but I'd guess that photo was taken about 1930-1940 (based on his clothing and ... well, the photo style itself) and he is aged about 45 -50. So born maybe 1880 - 1885. ? Based on stance and confident look ... but not a politician's "cockiness" ... serious ... an academic (author or scientist) thats used to doing presentations. Whats that in the foreground ... maybe a document? I'd guess that his main claim to fame would have occurred in ... 1920'ish RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-03-2018 11:11 PM Good idea, Roger, but not O. O. Mick - you are on the right track. I couldn't find (out) when exactly the photo was taken but your time frame overall is quite close to "reality". (And yes - no politician but someone used to do presentations and writing. RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-04-2018 03:51 AM Hint #1: To put it clearly - he was an author and "speaker". Hint #2: He's (still) very popular also in Germany. RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 08-04-2018 03:54 AM Edgar Lee Masters? RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 08-04-2018 03:58 AM Good guess, Roger, but not correct. |
