He died in 1884 of an enlarged prostate....almost certainly prostate cancer....and was buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery. His restaurant on Pennsylvania Avenue was where the conspirators met the night of March 15, 1865. This was the same night Lewis Powell and John Surratt earlier had attended Ford's with two of Mary Surratt's boarders...Nora Fitzpatrick and Appollonia Dean.

Thanks, Roger! That was a tough one!! It was the "liquor dealer" which got it for me -
