Did Robert Lincoln Ride the Funeral Train to Baltimore?

[Juan Marrero]

I understand the security concerns, but it seems sad that AL is encased in cement. Not meaning to be morbid, but such a heavy load might, one would think, crush whatever lies underneath. RTL engaged in "overkill" here.

I read in several books that MTL had some objection to what she saw as too much reliance on spirits (the bottled kind) by MHL; for all we know, MHL might have felt MTL over-relied on spirits too (the summoned kind). Unreconcialble differences.

As an aisde, we drove to D.C. this weekend to view the "Silent Witness" and Lincoln Barouche exhibits. Mary's coat and the barouche looked hardly a year old. Impressive that the hardware on the barouche is solid silver. Did Mary ride home on that same coach to the White House the next morning?
