RE: escort to Springfield
Kees, the list in Wayne Temple's Abraham Lincoln: From Skeptic to Prophet is similar to what you have.
John Wood William B. Archer Jesse K. DuBois Stephen T. Logan William F. Elkin Gustavus P. Koener James L. Lamb Samuel H. Treat Dr. Gershom Jayne Col. John Williams Erastus Wright Capt. James N. Brown Jacob Bunn Charles W. Matheny Elijah Iles John T. Stuart Dr. Temple does not mention the specific names of Veterans Reserve Corps members who carried the coffin into the vault. Dr. Temple does mention that it was a very warm day and several people, including Springfield's mayor, suffered mild sunstroke. Three of these names are also mentioned with regard to Mary Lincoln's funeral in 1882. Jacob Bunn was an active pallbearer, and Samuel H. Treat and Col. John Williams were honorary pallbearers. |
