[In regard to the statement that Calvin Presnell "stood guard over the coffin of Abraham Lincoln," there is no Calvin Presnell listed among the Veteran's Honor Guard, the members of which attended the coffin of President Lincoln, from the time the casket left Washington, D.C. until its burial in Springfield, IL. Calvin Presnell may have taken part in a local ceremony when the train stopped in Indianapolis, Indiana:
http://rogerjnorton.com/Lincoln51.html
"Sunday, April 30. In Indiana, the train went through Richmond (while the church bells rang tumultuously), Centreville, Germantown, Cambridge, Knightstown, Charlotteville, and others. It arrived in Indianapolis at 7:00 A.M. The coffin was carried to the Indiana State House in a hearse topped by a silver-gilt eagle. Although rain had been almost an everyday occurrence on the journey, it was so heavy in Indianapolis that the giant procession was canceled and the entire day devoted to viewing. Because of the rain, Governor Oliver P. Morton failed to give his oration. Streetcars in Indianapolis bore slogans of mourning: Car #10 said, 'Sorrow for the Dead; Justice for the Living; Punishment for Traitors.' Car #13 said, 'Fear Not, Abraham; I Am Thy Shield; Thy Reward Shall Be Exceedingly Great.' Car #20 said, 'Thou Art Gone and Friend and Foe Alike Appreciate Thee Now.' Late in the evening the Lincoln Special departed Indianapolis destined for Chicago, a journey of 210 miles."

"Journalist William H. Smith recalled: “For hours and hours there was a steady procession of men and women passing through the building (Indiana State House in Indianapolis) to gaze for a moment on the Great Martyr. During all those hours an orchestra placed in one of the galleries and a chorus of voices in the one opposite alternated in rendering funeral dirges and anthems. It was a memorable scene, one never to be forgotten.”]
