Inauguration this house where the martyre,
President breathed his last was more extrava-

this house was known as the Peterson house.
1t was occupied by very respectable family of
that name. They were good, sensible people.
not overly well-to.do. VINO owned large house
and made something by renting rooms to
strangers John Matthews. a comedian who was
great friend of John Wilkes Booth, had rooms
in this house, and his room was the one in which
President Lincoln died A few nights before
the assassination John Wilkes Booth occupied
Matthew's room, and it is curious fact that he
slept upon the same bed upon which the man
whom he afterward murdere. brpatbed his last
breath. 1t was said by some that Andy johnson
was sworn in here at this house This may be
so, ont it is generally believed that lie was
sworn in at the Kirkwood House.
The room in which the President died was
long, narrow one, in the center of the building,
with few windows, il any and with paper made
of great stripes Mrs Lincoln was not at his
bedside when he passed away. ana the piciuEes
generally given do not represent The true scene
of the deathbed.
