Rick, this is just wonderful. Something of substance. You are to be congratulated for all the work.
The S. S. Elder is the man who sealed Lincoln's coffin. I have an article from the late Warner Davis he sent me the article.
S. S. Elder's parents lived in Springfield. They came from Jefferson Co., TN. - S. S. was probably born in KY or IL or possibly TN. I am from Knoxville, TN. but have lived in FL for a long time, my husbands job moved us here, not fun.
Wish you would find out more about S. S. Elder and what he did. I enjoy the history.
Samuel and wife Phoebe Elder had twenty children, one was S. S Elder.
Would love to read more of your work.
Thank you for this wonderful article/history. Please do more. Thank you, Ann Elder Poe
