TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS

JFK IN THE BOSTON GARDEN

STUMP CONTRIBUTOR DAVE EDEN FOUND A GEM

This pioneer served during the Civil War. When the war winded down we all know Lincoln was tragically shot by Booth. He was headed home to New York when called to ride into Washington with assistance to find Lincoln’s killer. His team killed Booth and he claimed his share of the reward which was plenty for those days in American history. In 1870 he moved to Nashville & then made the wagon ride into Oregon -1906. It is not known why he came to Oregon. We do know he became a bookmaker, most likely in Oregon City. Mr. Eden found his grave at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Quite a story! Thanks Dave!
