And sometime in this century, when his body was moved to it's present location, the casket was checked to see if indeed Lincoln was inside. And if the memories are correct, they found him in there and could tell by his features, that it was Lincoln. Now are these recollections correct, or have I totally lost the story as it happened ??????????????????? Thanks in advance Jack Stanley
