"Stump the Yankee"

[RJNorton]

I may have posted this once before so please excuse if so. When Abraham Lincoln's funeral procession was passing by Cornelius Van Schaack Roosevelt's home in New York City two little boys watched from one of the second floor windows. The boys were 6-year-old Teddy Roosevelt and his brother, Elliott. I think there has been some debate as to the positive identification of the boys, but as I recall, Richard Sloan told me it is indeed Teddy and Elliott.
