Blake and Seeley, the Fisher Block, the Boston Shoe Store, and the old state capitol building are visible in the background.

Note from Joseph A. Wheelock to his wife, Kate French Wheelock, upon hearing news of Lincoln's death
A short, personal note from Joseph Albert Wheelock, a journalist in Saint Paul, to his wife Kate French Wheelock, commenting on the assassination of President Lincoln. It reads: "My darling, If you have tears prepare to shed them now Weep - Weep - Weep for the Slain of the daughters of my people." The envelope with it is just as interesting: "Father's note to Mother when Lincoln was assassinated. Mr. Colgrave told me that he was with Father when the news came - and that he staggered across the room sank down and burst into tears."
My darling, If you have tears prepare to shed them now Weep - Weep - Weep for the Slain of the daughters of my people.

St. Paul Press Extra - Horrible! President Lincoln Assassinated - April 15, 1865
This single sheet of the St. Paul Press, dated April 15, 1865, announces the assassination of President Lincoln. There are several odd things about this; it was found in a manuscript collection, not in the run of the newspaper. There is no extra in that; was this a contemporary commemorative piece? Was it something done late that very day? Its size is not standard paper newspaper size either; this is 12.5" x 9.5" The whole of the page is included here to show that even in the midst of the Nation's sorrow, ads were included.

Mourning Badge
This mourning badge was created to commemorate Lincoln's death and was most likely worn in the period of national mourning following the assassination. It is rectangular in shape and tapers to a point at the bottom, with a blue tassel hanging from the end. The top features a blue floral design, underneath which are the words "Assassinated at Washington 14 April 1865," and Lincoln's words "I Have Said Nothing But What I Am Willing to Live by, and if it be the Pleasure to Almighty God, to Die By. (A. Lincoln." Underneath this quote is an eagle and shield design with an oval Lincoln portrait. At bottom are the words "The Late Lamented President Lincoln" in floral motif atop two crossed flags. The words "T. Steven Coventry" appear on the back, and it is likely that this is the maker.
