RE: Did Robert Lincoln Ride the Funeral Train to Baltimore?
It puzzles me that no one from AL's birth family came to Washington for the funeral nor were any of the Hanks in Springfield for the burial. Of course I understand about Lincoln's much loved but aged stepmother Sarah. But what about Dennis or the others? I don't get the impression he was ever shy about the spotlight and he was certainly very willing to chat up his famous kinsman after his death.

What happened? I know that AL supported them financially. Did they simply not have enough money to make the trip?
