SOUTH AMHERST, Ohio — An expert at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library said he thinks an Ohio man’s flea- market find is one of the last Lincoln signatures.
It is on an envelope that was with papers Bruce Steiner bought in 2006 in South Amherst, 30 miles southwest of Cleveland. The writing says: “Let this man enter with this note. April 14, 1865,” and it’s signed “A. Lincoln.” The date is the day the president was shot.
An analysis has been done by John Lupton, who is involved in a project to preserve Lincoln’s paper at the Lincoln library in Springfield, Ill. Lupton says he is “pretty sure” the signature is genuine.
