Does it look like James Matheny signed it? I am a little confused if he did as the web page here says Matheny retired as clerk of the Sangamon County Circuit Court in December 1856. So why would he sign as clerk in 1865.

Then maybe it's my eyes - it looks like "Matheny" to me. Maybe some younger eyes than mine can tell.

(Matheny was the gentleman who was best man at the Lincolns' wedding in 1842.)

Roger, mine is a pdf as well - it came as part of an autopsy report that someone wanted translated. There is no other info on it.
