RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-23-2013
Dr. Joseph J. Woodward as an older man? (This is a very wild guess as admittedly doesn't look much like him when younger)
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-23-2013
Another good guess, Roger, but this man wasn't involved in any VIP's autopsies.
Hint#2: When he visited the White House, it was not for the purpose of surgery.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-23-2013
Hint#3: He claimed to be an ornithologist.
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 08-23-2013
Seth Kinman?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-23-2013
What a smart guess! Sorry, Joe, it wasn't him either.
Hint#4: He didn't give any chairs to Abraham Lincoln but some "rebel letters".
Hint#5: He was an abolitionist.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-23-2013
This was a hard one, Eva! Now I think it is Alexander Milton Ross.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-23-2013
That is correct Roger, very good. I thought the "bird hint" would reveal him. Thanks for your endurance in guessing!
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-24-2013
I think this might be a challenge. Who is this man speaking in Springfield, Illinois?

RE: Who is this person? - Hess1865 - 08-24-2013
Lloyd George?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-25-2013
Good guess, Mr. Hess, but not him.
Hint #1: He was an author.

Is it Lord Charnwood?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-25-2013
Joe, I really thought I was going to have to give more hints on this! You, sir, are absolutely correct. Kudos, Joe!
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 08-25-2013
She was a good friend of Mr. Lincoln's. She visited him in Springfield.
RE: Who is this person? - Gene C - 08-25-2013
Hannah Armstong?
RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 08-25-2013
Excellent Gene. That didn't take long. Hannah was quite a character.
Quote below is from:
http://mrlincolnandfriends.org/inside.asp?pageID=105&subjectID=11
Shortly before President-elect Lincoln left for Washington, Hannah came to Springfield to say good-bye. She recalled "the boys got up a story on me that I went to get to sleep with Abe." She replied "that it was not every woman who had the good fortune & high honor of sleeping with a President. This stopt the sport - cut it short." After they talked and she was about to say goodbye, she told Mr. Lincoln that she would never see him again and that he would be killed. Smiling, Mr. Lincoln said: "Hannah - if they Kill me I shall never die [another] death."
