do you guys normally wait that long to bury people?

 

dude, it was the pres. and it was 1865.. they probably did an autopsy or something

 

an autopsy to find the cause of death of a guy that got shot in the head?
I would think it was be even sooner in 1865, since they didn't have refrigeration.

 

He was shot. Not much of a mystery there.

 

Traveling on a train through New York with his son to be buried on May 4 in Springfield.

 

There was a general hooker or captain hooker in the civil war who was known to be popular with the ladies. So, they called all the hoes "hooker's girls", which soon became shortened to hookers.

yep, i paid attention in history class :thumbup:


now, where did the term "sideburns" originate??

 

actually no, he was in indiana. he was shot in washington and had to travel to his home town of sprinfield. by steam engine that was over a week, plus they, *ahem*, "dis-interned" his son so they could be buried together in Ilz.

 

in the old days it was typical for a body to remain on display for at least a fort-night. ever read huck finn?

actually... most experts believe that the fall off of the balcony is what killed lincoln.
