Good job, Rob. You got it.

A recreation of this event took place in 2010.

I've always read it was his step-sister Matilda Johnston who walked on the ceiling.

Extra credit question: Willie Lincoln was not the first person to die in that particular room in the White House. Who had previously died there?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-04-2012 04:41 AM

James Garfield?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 10-04-2012 07:17 AM

Good guess Roger, but Garfield died after Willie passed away.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-04-2012 07:33 AM

Zachary Taylor?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 10-04-2012 07:39 AM

Roger: Nope, but you are in the "ball-park"- the person was a U.S. President.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-04-2012 07:49 AM

William Henry Harrison?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 10-04-2012 07:58 AM

Roger-you got it! I wonder if MTL was aware that President Harrison had died in that room? Somehow I think if she had known it she wouldn't have allowed Willie to be there.

This building is now gone, but Lincoln gave a famous speech in it. What speech was it?

The Young Men's Lyceum speech?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2012 12:24 PM

Good guess, but this speech came later.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 10-05-2012 12:43 PM

Is it the "Lost Speech" in Bloomington?

Rob

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2012 12:48 PM

Yes. Good job, Rob. I'll send you a copy as soon as I find it.

In the years prior to her marriage to Abraham Lincoln Mary Todd was once courted by the grandson of one of the Founding Fathers. Which Founding Father was this?
