    I recall that New York City was the only site where the coffin containing the body of Lincoln was opened for public view, or rather limited view by officials checking for condition or possible problems in transport. I cannot find anything searching the Interest for more information on this opening of the coffin. I have a photograph of it.

    The open casket photograph, which was immediately confiscated by Secretary of War Stanton and not rediscovered until 1952, appears at the bottom of this page: home.att.net/~rjnorton/Lincoln41.html

    Nostalgia over Lincoln's Birthday. Back in the early 1950's, we parachial school children would have "off" February 12th to celebrate Lincoln's Birthday. And, being born on February 12th, I kinda had bragging rights with fellow school children at St John the Baptist Parachial school in Kenmore, New York. This school is on the same block as the old chapel built by the little bishop from Philadelphia, the Venerable John Neumann, who later went on to become Blessed John Neumann, and ultimately a canonized SAINT! Nostalgia. (Sigh!)

    About New York City: "How New York Mourned Lincoln" a retrospective item from the New York Times of April 11, 1915 which mentions opening the casket for viewing by officials in City Hall. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E06E4DD153BE233A...

    "Conried"I believe
  • Markus Trapp said:
    Yes: The name of the director of the Metropolitan Opera ist Heinrich Conried, not "Conreid" as written in the title and the description of the foto. As Conried died on 27 Apr 1909, the foto can be dated correctly with 1909. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Conried

    the funeral does look like it's in a theater with a set as the backdrop. but these pictures are supposed to start in 1910. Yet his funeral was at the Metropolitan Opera House on May 13, 1909. An account of the funeral: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9806E5DE1E31E733A...
