I remember back in the 60' when I was 7,8,9,or 10 years old Life or Look went to Lincoln's exhumation and had crisp color photos of the corpse--which left left a huge impression on a little boy.

No Googling, no research of any kind has uncovered any suggestion Lincoln had been disinterred forty years ago.

Must have been the hot dogs I ate back then??...

:') There's only one known photo of Lincoln in the coffin, taken at one of the funeral train stops, where his body was out for public viewing, a pause on the way back to Illinois.

I recall seeing a photo of the coffin about to be covered with concrete though. ;')
