==The funeral==

The death of Lincoln trigged an outpouring of grief that the whole of the country had never seen before.  Within an hour of the return of Lincoln’s body to the White House, black cloth, crepe, and ribbons began sprouting from buildings across Washington.  “It seemed,” said one citizen, “as if the whole world had lost a dear, personal friend.”  25,000 people would pass by the casket on April 18; churches were filled nation-wide the next day, when funeral services took place.  Lincoln and his son Willie, who had died two years before, were placed onboard a special train on the 21st where they would make the long, 1,700-mile trip to Springfield, Illinois, and burial in Oak Grove Cemetery.  Along the way, there would be stops in Philadelphia, in New York, in Cleveland, Chicago, and various other cities, mirroring the trip Lincoln took on his way to Washington for his first inauguration.  Each of the them would have there own services. (TL 26, pg. 118-131)
