The Petersen House

At what time did President Lincoln die?
Where was Mary Lincoln during the night?
Where was Secretary of War Edwin Stanton,
and what was he doing?

Did you know?
Willie Clark, an army
clerk, rented the
room in the Petersen
House where Lincoln died. He was out the night of
the assassination, which is why Lincoln was taken to
his room. Clark came home the next day and slept
that night in the same bed that the president died
in that morning.
