Hint #1: The living presidents at the time of Lincoln's inaugural journey were Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan.

My apologies to Martin Van Buren for shortening his life! I forgot that Harrison lived in North Bend, OH and where, also, his grandson Benjamin was born. Roger, I have looked through the entire inaugural journey in Lincoln Day by Day and can find no mention of the Harrison burial site mentioned. Is this from Trostel's new book on the Lincoln inaugural train? I think this is a great bit of information and woud like to know the primary source, too. Thanks.
