Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 90, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 April 1915 — Carnations at Spot of Lincoln’s Death. [ARTICLE]

Carnations at Spot of Lincoln’s Death.

In the room where Lincoln died and on the very spot where he rested wh£n he died, were placed, fifty beautiful pink carnations to commemorate the death of the president fifty years ago. The donor of the carnations was Michael Doyle, of Philadelphia. Many visitors visited the house during the day. A saloon on the corner advertised that it was the last place that Wilkes Booth, the slayer of Lincoln, took his last drink.
