RE: Who is this?
That's it. It is David Turnham. He gave Lincoln a copy of the Revised Laws of Indiana which included a copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. According to Ida Tarbell, it was the first time Lincoln had access to the documents and it began his political education. Coincidentally, I have a friend who attended David Turnham elementary in Dale, Ind.

RE: Who is this?
I am kicking myself for not getting this much earlier. I actually have a book (There I Grew Up by William Bartelt) that contains this exact picture, but I just forgot about looking in that source. Bartelt's book is a good source of information on Lincoln's Indiana years.

RE: Who is this?
Roger,
I actually got the picture from an Images of America series book called Indiana's Lincolnland. I have Bartelt's book, but I had no idea the picture was in there as well. As far as I know it's the only known picture of Turnham. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Who is this?
I see the similarity, Émilie, but it's not Stanton. The correct answer is not as well known as Stanton, but he has been mentioned previously on this forum.

Hint #1: Mary Lincoln knew this man; Abraham Lincoln did not.

Dr. Richard Peterson of Bellevue Place
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Who is this?
Close enough, Gene! It is Dr. Richard J. Patterson of Bellevue Place in Batavia, Illinois. Mary was sent to Bellevue after her insanity trial in 1875. Mary was there from May 20th to September 11th of that year.

RE: Who is this?
It reminds me of Ely Parker, Grant's Native American aide.

RE: Who is this?
Well done, Rob. You nailed it on the first try.
(Thanks to AussieMick for first posting a trivia question about him.) |
