I'm not a lot about Lucy Hale Chandler's later life, but by the time the "Booth mummy" was touring she had been married to William Chandler for three decades. Who knows she may not have even heard about it or given the story much credence based on the amount of "fake news" in the papers at the turn of the 20th century. If she did think about Booth much at that time I imagine it would likely be more along the lines of "I can't believe I fell in love with such a horrid man! Foolish youth!" or something like that.

I'm psyched to be part of your group!
What's interesting to me is that her husband William Chandler also had a newspaper. They are very aware of how the assassination is still defining them in the present
