RE: Did Robert Lincoln Ride the Funeral Train to Baltimore?
Regarding newspapers, here are a few possibilities.
Dr. Wayne C. Temple writes, "To the left of the Vault's gates had been erected a platform for the speakers and the press. To the right was one for the choir singers. Robert T. Lincoln - the only member of the President's immediate family who attended the services - took a seat near the open door of the Vault. Other dignitaries were seated nearby." Two newspapers are footnoted: Chicago Tribune May 6, 1865 p. 2 c. 4 and New York Herald, May 5, 1865 p. 1 c. 3 Also, the information could be in one of the editions of the Illinois Daily State Journal for early May, 1865. Lots of Dr. Temple's footnotes regarding Lincoln's Springfield funeral refer to editions of that paper May 4, 1865 - May 8, 1865. |
