I do not know the height of the person who measured Lincoln.

Lincoln stood against a surface, and the person marked his height on it.

I can't come up with a name without Google, but was it the soldier he met with that was nearly as tall as Lincoln?


RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 04-17-2024 05:22 AM

Nope, that isn't the person, Joe.

Was it one of the "Long Nine" ?


RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 04-17-2024 07:41 AM

Nope, it was not one of the Long Nine, Gene.

Could it be his Tailor?


RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 04-17-2024 09:03 AM

Nope, Joe, it wasn't his tailor.

A bootmaker? He'd have to remove his shoes then.


RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 04-17-2024 09:43 AM

Steve, you are right about removing the shoes, but the person measuring Lincoln was not a bootmaker.

Did this happen before or after Lincoln was elected president?

After.


RE: Who is this person? - Anita - 04-17-2024 02:19 PM

Was it a doctor at his autopsy?


RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 04-17-2024 02:28 PM

Nope, the correct answer was not a doctor.

The person has been mentioned previously on this forum. It's not a new name.

Was it Lincoln's bootmaker? He was a German immigrant. Maybe last name of Kahle or something like that?

Ward Hill Lamon ?
