His father, Robert Todd Lincoln, brought him back to have him placed in the tomb in Springfield. He was then removed to be reinterred with his father in Arlington.
How old was he when he passed?
Bill,
He was 16 when he died.
Joe
Way too young- how sad. Thanks, Joe.

Folks, I am out of clues. It was Charles Francis Byrne who was playing Captain De Boots in Our American Cousin. My aging eyes think it looks like it's spelled Byrnes in the playbill. His statement is on pp. 168-169 of Tim Good's We Saw Lincoln Shot: One Hundred Eyewitness Accounts. The account was from February 12, 1929.
Playbill does say Byrnes. I tried to cheat and figure it out. According to the script of the play, the next man to come on stage after the gunshot would have been Binney. Captain De Boots wasn't due until Act III, Scene 7.

Which character in the Lincoln assassination saga claimed that he once met President Lincoln and shook hands with him. Lincoln said, "How do you do, sir? I am glad to see you."
RE: Assassination Trivia - LincolnMan - 05-27-2013 06:33 AM
Was it Mr. Booth himself?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-27-2013 06:42 AM
A most logical guess, Bill, but it wasn't him.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Hess1865 - 05-27-2013 08:50 AM
John Surratt??
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-27-2013 09:09 AM
Another good guess, Mr. Hess, but it was not John Surratt.
RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 05-27-2013 09:18 AM
Edwin Booth (if they ever met)?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-27-2013 09:29 AM
Nope, not him.
Hint #1: John Wilkes Booth knew this man.
RE: Assassination Trivia - J. Beckert - 05-27-2013 10:22 AM
John Ford?
RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 05-27-2013 10:39 AM
Nope, not him.

David Herold?
RE: Assassination Trivia - Rsmyth - 05-27-2013 11:39 AM
John Mathews?
RE: Assassination Trivia - BettyO - 05-27-2013 12:41 PM
I agree with Kate - I think it was David Herold.....
RE: Assassination Trivia - Bill Richter - 05-27-2013 01:13 PM
I vote with Betty O and Kate H
