RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 09-06-2013
You are quite right - B Street is now Independence Avenue and runs behind the Mall. Tenth Street and Independence would be approximately where the Forrestal Building is as part of the L'Enfant Plaza federal complex.
It is sort of diagonally across town from where Betty and Mike used to park while conducting research. I'm not going to ask what they were researching while parking....
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-09-2013
Hopefully this will be a challenge. A person whose name is part of the overall Lincoln assassination saga died June 28, 1926, and is buried in Hampton National Cemetery, Hampton, Virginia. Who is he?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rsmyth - 09-09-2013
Jacob Rittersbaugh - Sorry Roger, but this was right up my alley.
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-09-2013
Right on, Rich! I figured you might know this one. Many years ago I wrote Mike Kauffman seeking the proper spelling of the man's name. Mike was incredibly helpful and added much information in his response. He even mentioned that the guy who arrested Ned Spangler is actually buried in the plot next to Ritterspaugh.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rsmyth - 09-09-2013
Mike knows where everyone is buried. Who arrested Spangler?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-09-2013
According to what Mike told me Pvt. Sidney Raymond made the actual arrest of Spangler. Mike wrote that the two men (Raymond and Rittersback/Ritterspaugh) are buried only 3 or 4 feet apart.
There is yet another spelling....Rittersbach.... here.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rogerm - 09-09-2013
"Rittersbach" is probably the original German spelling of the name, with everything else a variant of it.

Who is this man?

Joseph Sessford
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-24-2013
You win, Dave! Sessford was the ticket seller at Ford's the night of the assassination.
You win one ticket to one concert. Your only choices: (1) Justin Bieber (2) Miley Cyrus (3) The Four Seasons.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons singing Sherry
RE: Assassination Trivia - Dave Taylor - 09-24-2013
The Four Seasons, gladly. The other two are obviously punishments for an incorrect answer.
Who is this?

Does Lindsey know??? Oh, heck with Lindsey -- as long as it's the Four Seasons, I'll come. The other two choices are the pits.

You're not kidding. I had to suffer through a Beiber concert with my daughter two years ago. I've never heard screeching like that in my life.
