 | Calvin J.Presnell (1833-1916), Biographical note, 2 of 2
Mildred E. Hill, comp., Clay County Historical Society, "Clay County, Indiana History, 1880-1984," (Dallas: Tayler Publishing).
Received from Paul E. Williams.
[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:

"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.”]

". . . And Lingo Was Their Game-O," by J.J. McCoy (Washington "Post," March 13, 2003):
In a spartanly furnished classroom of the Smithsonian's S. Dillon Ripley Center, three stories below the National Mall in D.C., conspirators are hard at work.
They're conjuring up words. They'd like nothing better than to invent them, then sit back and listen to the rest of us use them. They want this so much that each has given up five hours of a Saturday and paid upward of $120 to hear Erin McKean, the 31-year-old senior editor for Oxford University Press's American English dictionaries, talk about the life and death of language. She discusses the birth of "bling-bling," "soccer moms" and "reality TV," just a few of the phrases that have slipped into American vernacular in recent years. . . .
The 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary is considered the most comprehensive reference for the English language. The company's two-volume Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (SOED), released last fall, saw fit to include 3,500 new words by using its '5 by 5 by 5' rule: five examples in five printed sources over five years. . . .
[Among the attendees:) At ages 76 and 73, respectively, Roy and Carol Thomas of Montgomery County share a mutual interest in language and opsimathy (from 1656, learning acquired late in life). A retired high school librarian who teaches English as a second language at Montgomery College, Carol is driven to bruxism (grinding of teeth) at the thought of the word "tasked," cited by Oxford back in 1828. . . ." |
