Your guess: "angels" or "ages?"

RE: Your guess: "angels" or "ages?"
Thank you Linda and Anita! Maybe all the lists and images I've seen are wrong, and O'Beirne was present. I am still curious about why none of the many prints of the death scene, and the accounts such as Welles' diary, do not include O'Beirne. The whole thing is somewhat of a mystery to me.

Dave Taylor did a wonderful article on the topic of Lincoln's deathbed. Can anyone tell if O'Beirne is in the list of names at the bottom of the Albert Berghaus' print? My eyes are not good enough to read those names. Unless I missed it Berghaus' engraving is not included in the "Rubber Room" booklet by Holzer and Williams. (The prints in the book for which Holzer and Williams included lists of names at the deathbed do not include O'Beirne.)
