Assassination Trivia

[Gene C]

Was he one of the traveling undertakers for the trip back to Springfield?

[RJNorton]

Gene, that is sure a logical guess, but he was not one of those folks.

[Eva Elisabeth]

Thought of one of the plumbers.

[RJNorton]

One of those who claimed having been the last to see Abraham Lincoln('s body)?

This is close!

[Eva Elisabeth]

One of those Kees mentioned here:

[RJNorton]

Eva, not that post. Here is where Kees mentioned the name of the man in the photo Blaine sent:

Now try to think of something that happened there that more than one man claimed to do.

[Eva Elisabeth]

Col. George V. Rutherford as one of those who claimed to have placed the silver half-dollars on Lincoln's eyes?

[RJNorton]

Brilliant, Eva! This was a tough question.

At least four men claimed to have placed coins over Lincoln's eyes: Dr. Charles Augustus Leale, John L. Bolton, Colonel George V. Rutherford, and Colonel Thomas McCurdy Vincent.

Once again, thanks to Blaine for sending the photo.

Eva, I cannot think of a prize for this - I'll simply wish you a wonderful day.

[RJNorton]

As far as I know this is the only memorial CDV for a Lincoln conspirator - who was the conspirator? (the name has been cropped out)

[Eva Elisabeth]

It's beautiful. I try my fellow countryman first - Atzerodt?

[RJNorton]

Excellent, Eva! Indeed George Atzerodt is correct. Many thanks to Blaine for sending it. He found it in an antique shop in Gettysburg.

You win a beautiful and warm summer in Germany.

[Eva Elisabeth]

It looked German to me - I realize that doesn't mean it doesn't look American either...
Love the prize!

[RJNorton]

Who is this man?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Wild guess - Lew Wallace?
