Not that I know of.

I have no earthly idea. Was he a politician?

He knew Abraham Lincoln well, but he was not a politician.

Is the button or badge significant?
RE: Who is this? - RJNorton - 02-23-2025 04:21 PM
I do not think so.
Years after the Lincoln Presidency he became an author and an inventor.

Is he a US citizen?
RE: Who is this? - RJNorton - 02-23-2025 04:44 PM
Yes, and he has been previously mentioned on this forum.

That's the hint I needed! William O. Stoddard.

Right, Anita!! I got the idea from one of Gene's recent posts. Stoddard was one of Lincoln's secretaries, although (IMO) not as well-known as Hay and Nicolay.
