Assassination Trivia

[L Verge]

Kudos, Betty! Yes, it is an older Joseph Hazelton. He was the program boy at Ford's. He handed programs to the Lincoln party as they entered the theater. Earlier in the day John Wilkes Booth had talked with Hazelton in front of the theater. He later became an actor himself. Apparently he was a believer in the "Booth escaped" theory.

If you scroll down you will find an obituary for Hazelton here:

Keep scrolling down on that same link until you see an article about John Parker, the so-called bodyguard that night. You will see a photo claiming to be Parker taken from FindaGrave. Except, I don't believe it is Parker.
