My father-in-law had Lincoln family members. His mother was a Lincoln, although no direct connection to Abe has ever been located. We were in Gettysburg and stopped at a museum that had a bronze cast of Lincoln's death mask. My wife and I were both stunned when we saw the face of dad there. I had never noticed any similarity to any pictures of Lincoln. I recall there were 57 taken.

That's really interesting. You do see Loncoln differently than in pictures when you see the cast of his face. Here is a photo of some of the things Lincoln had in his pockets when he was killed and which are now on display in the Library of Congress.
