RE: Who is this person?
I do not know the height of the person who measured Lincoln.

Lincoln stood against a surface, and the person marked his height on it.

I can't come up with a name without Google, but was it the soldier he met with that was nearly as tall as Lincoln?

Was it one of the "Long Nine" ?

A bootmaker? He'd have to remove his shoes then.

Steve, you are right about removing the shoes, but the person measuring Lincoln was not a bootmaker.

Did this happen before or after Lincoln was elected president?

Nope, the correct answer was not a doctor.

The person has been mentioned previously on this forum. It's not a new name.

Was it Lincoln's bootmaker? He was a German immigrant. Maybe last name of Kahle or something like that?
