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
James Garfield?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 10-04-2012
Good guess Roger, but Garfield died after Willie passed away.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-04-2012
Zachary Taylor?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 10-04-2012
Roger: Nope, but you are in the "ball-park"- the person was a U.S. President.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-04-2012
William Henry Harrison?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 10-04-2012
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.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2012
This building is now gone, but Lincoln gave a famous speech in it. What speech was it?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 10-05-2012
The Young Men's Lyceum speech?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2012
Good guess, but this speech came later.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 10-05-2012
Is it the "Lost Speech" in Bloomington?

Rob
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-05-2012
Yes. Good job, Rob. I'll send you a copy as soon as I find it.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-07-2012
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?
