RE: American flag that covered Lincoln's casket during the funeral train tour
Its obviously possible that there was more than one flag used to cover the casket from Washington, D.C., to Springfield, Ill.

( I hesitate to suggest that some people might have been given or purloined a souvenir along the way, hence requiring the flag to be replaced.)
