Lincoln Assassination Witness

7/8/2016

It is interesting when technology preserves seemingly distant historical events for future generations.  For example, in 2014 we shared a 1930’s Smithsonian recording of the Rebel Yell performed by veterans.   Now we are able to share a video clip of Mr. Samuel J. Seymour, the last living eyewitness to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C.
 
Mr. Seymour was the mystery guest on the February 8, 1956 episode of the “I've Got a Secret” game show. Mr. Seymour (March 28, 1860 – April 12, 1956) was 95 at the time of his appearance.
 
I've Got a Secret
Date: February 8, 1956
Guest: Mr. Samuel J. Seymour
Secret: Last living eyewitness to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln

Panelists from left to right: Bill Cullen, Jayne Meadows, Henry Morgan, Lucile Ball
 
In addition, YouTube poster HistoryFlicks4U also shared a link to the referenced article, "I Saw Lincoln Shot" by Mr. Seymour.
