Did you know.........??? Samuel James Seymour (March 28, 1860 – April 12, 1956) was the last surviving person who had been present in Fords Theatre the night of the assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. When Seymour was five, his godmother, Mrs. George S. Goldsboro, took him to see Our American Cousin. He claimed the two sat in the balcony on the side opposite Lincolns box. Seymour died, 15 days after his 96th birthday, 3 days shy of the 91st anniversary of the Lincoln assassination, and 63 days after his appearance on Ive Got A Secret.
