Lincoln Funeral Flag replica

[Houmes]

The exhumation description indicates that Lincoln's face was very much intact (if that is a correct word to use), except for his eyebrows having disappeared.

Think cockroaches. And beetles. He had an open coffin viewing with several stops on the way back to Springfield, leaving him exposed to the elements. The eyebrows have been hypothesized as an evolutionary protector of the eyes, preventing sweat and rain from running down, blocking our vision. The eyebrow hair is more delicate than beard hair, and thus more prone to retain water and salt. These two bugs will eat about anything, although they have dietary preferences.
