The links are for 4 volumes (about 45 pages each of newspaper clippings) memories of people who claim to have been at Ford's Theatre when Lincoln was shot. Interesting and worth a look.

You're welcome, Gene. Mrs. Luther E. L. Doethe, (that's her name in the file but it's spelled "Deothe" in the same Newspaper.com article and "DeOthe" in the 1929 Denver City Directory) said she recognized Booth "as I had often seen him hang around the Kirkwood Hotel with some other, worthless third-rate actors." Mrs. Deothe also offered her opinion that Lincoln married Mary "in an effort to overcome his grief at the death of his first sweetheart."
