Last Witness to President Abraham Lincoln Assassination I've Got A Secret 

The fucking Queen was.

When I was a child, I KNEW people born in the 19th century. It’s not insane. You’re just young.

@@insaneone4369 No lol

@@Toast0808 Ok Mr. Boomer.

I knew a lady born in 1889. It was remarkable how far back it was. My Dad 1920-2010 knew his great grandmother who was born in 1854.

John MILLER I’m afraid it did not happen if so I need to read the book!

That would be a cool Twitter bio

John MILLER you got 66 likes with very decent, kind hearted statement, where “doctor whooey” got over 12k with a stupid statement about dead people witnessing dead people get dead. Great current state our dumbed down nation is in smh.

Not to mention he lived through two other presidents get shot and almost saw a third.

And now he is rolling in has grave because we put a corrupt Orange moron in the White House

162 ? Must be new math!

@@MRMTF you missed replying to the correct comment, it was one up from here. BTW that was made a year ago so 1860 would have been 162 years prior. As of march 28th 2023 it has been 163 years since his birth.

67 years later, but I hear ya. Tough old guy

@@MRMTF 2022 - 1860 = 162. Not new math to most of us. It might be new to you.

But he was lying his ass off. They checked all the names of the people attending the theatre in 1865, and he wasn't on any list, nor was his godmother's name. There were no small children in the theatre that day. The fact that he came out with his story first at age 94 should have given everyone a clue.

People don't have that kind of comic wit nowadays. I wish they did.

To be honest a mere decade beyond the Civil War (telephone) isn't that amazing, since before the war 'telephones' were being developed and researched by investors, eventually leadingto the telephone. Not half as amazing as the other things he lived through

Plus movies, electricity, the automobile, airplanes, and birth of the computer. Missed out on the first person in space by five years.

You forgot like 57 other wars but ok

This is why we need to actually speak to our elders & listen to their answers. They have much to teach us.

Honestly, living from 1850-1950 was probably the BIGGEST jump in technology that any human could witness first hand. I wish i was born then.

@sea-pin thank you for your psychological insight Doctor sea pin.

​@sea-pinSo what if we do, I mean millions have watched this video hundreds of thousands have liked it and the newspaper wrote about it and he went on TV about it. Why wouldnt you believe it? Your argument for it not being true is completely made up guessing nonsense and you try to gatekeep others in learning history and respecting this man. Get a grip!

But John Gray also did have a long life dying at 104

you just blew my mind, dude

I did the math and yeah, a revolutionary war veteran could’ve been talking to a Civil War veteran who could’ve been talking to a World War II veteran who would eventually live to see our modern day. The US is only 4 (counting the modern generation) generations old at minimum. I guess that’s why the Europeans always say the US is so young But it’s incredible how much history we’ve packed within those nearly 250 years

I think it’s 4 assassinations, isn’t it? There was Lincoln of course, then James Garfield a few years later, then william Mckinley and JFK

No kidding!!! Wow! Incredible….

HOLY SHI-

And the spanish American war

Actually he lived through all of the civil war

Good thing he didn't fall off the stage...

Why wouldn't he still want to go on television? It was his big chance. No one could have ever imagined television when he was 5 years old. Black and white photos were new and rare. Television would have seemed like magic. $80 was also still good money back in the 1950s.

They tried to silence him.

@tinylilmatt we heard he actually was badly beaten at his Hotel In a fight with a hooker, over the fee. The hooker beat him with her high heel shoe✨✨✨

@@chrisgeorgallis7746 forced him into it.

@D man Dman my great grandfather fought in the Spanish American War. Thing is, I'm actually kind of young, so the reason why that's possible is because my grandma was born when her father was sixty. Some of her brothers died in WW1 and WW2 before she was born in '45.

Don't forget the Korean War

He also had to go through the dust bowl and the great depression

That’s insane. He must’ve seen so much shift in culture so fast. Slavery was still alive, The Great Depression, The push for women’s rights, Nixon Pearl Harbor, So much more lol but he was def alive in points of history were so much had happened.

Everybody is talking about "Sigma" stuff and all, but you ain't no sigma unless you survived Two World wars and the Great Depression, and witnessed a very importaint historical event.

Guy: Picks up *gold? Guy: Walks up to counter. Guy: Hey, i'd like to buy this gold*! Store Clerk: No you fool that's fools gold! UGH! GRANDPAS!

It was amazing to watch that episode. He was in Ford's Theater that historic night. Awful that he didn't have bodyguards all around. I'll bet he had threats to him and his family all the time. They auctioned off a pair of tickets to that show at Ford's the night the president was killed. I'm going to Google it to see what they sold for. I was 10 when JFK was killed. Am still sad about that awful day. And it's unreal that Abe Zapruder got that on video.

There were revolutionary war veterans alive when my great grandmother was born in 1864. She died in 1980 at 116.

​@@pollypurree1834 Your grrat-grandmother lived through the end of the Civil War in her toddler years, saw Reconstruction in her childhood and early adulthood, the First World War in her 50s, the Second World War in her 70s, most of the Cold War in her 80s and 90s, Vietnam in her 100s, and passed away just after the rise of color television and just nine years before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Truly a life to have lived!

Kevin, Mr. Seymour was not alive in 1850, because as they stated, repeatedly, that he was 5 years old in 1865, when Lincoln was assassinated. You have added 10 years to his age by mistake. Tho, definitely, time is threading us all together.

He was born in 1860.

RU-vid gives us a view of the world like never seen before. It is great to be alive at this time and look back at the threads that have weaved this thing we call history.

His story did get told via the newspaper article before the show even knew anything about him.

@@LittleFatFeet68 that newspaper article would now be long gone, the point of my comment is how wonderful we have RU-vid to broadcast his story 65 years later still, not losing this form of media

When you are that old, you know you could go any day, so if you're smart, you don't pass up opportunities to do things like this.

You know I've seen this many times people live to a certain age because of a certain reason and this man living to 96 and coming on TV was all about preserving history and once he did that and got it off his mind he was able to go meet his maker and fall asleep and pass on to the spirit world. It obviously was great importance for him to tell this bit of History and he was at peace when he passed away

Heck, I was born in 1960 and *I've* witnessed all kinds of changes in technology, social trends, etc. We have a younger crowd today who has never used a landline / rotary phone, never had to get up from the couch to change the dial in the TV, heck, never even had a whiff of what the world was like before computer technology and the internet age!

We all can say that about any reasonably long life. I was a year old when this was broadcast. KKK were still lynching folk. The British Empire still thought it was an Empire. There was nothing much to speak of in space and personal computers weren't even on science fictions radar. The Cold war was still a thing and America was still living in it's post war boom. We had, and still have South American Death squads backed by the CIA. The world was collectively shitting itself at the thought of a nuclear holocaust, and then the Cuban Missile thing came along and some folks really did shit themselves. Many folks who really should have known better still thought that Communism/Marxism was going to save humanity from the Capitalist running dogs. Then we read the Gulag archipelago and found out (eventually) the true cost of Chairman Mao's Great Leap forward. We saw the advent of mobile/cell phones and information gathering on a scale that would have had J. Edgar Hoover creaming his favourite dress in delight. We are seeing the subtle and not so subtle ploys of the Chinese and the Russians to foment dissent and destabilise the western hegemony. We see the rise of Neo Marxists latching onto every conceivable cause in order to gain a political ascendancy. We are reaping the benefits of decades of wilful denial regarding our impact on the planet. The seas are full of that wonderful substance that was so going to improve the quality of everyone's life. The air is full of the shit from all those day trips to the coast. The internet is full of trolls and scammers and people you definitely would not want to take home for dinner. So yes, he saw some changes. Well... so have we all.

My husband's father rode a horse from his farm to a 1 room schoolhouse as a kid. Was the first group to take this new test called the SAT. When he got a perfect score GA Tech and MIT called the farm. He went to MIT.

I was born back in the day when movies were worth seeing. 12 eggs was $.86 cent milk was $1.35 a gallon AND THAT WAS ONLY 1983 🤣🤣.

That's funny. I've pondered this before, what people saw the world change the most in their lifetimes. And while an argument can be made for current super-old people who may have experienced the Depression, I think the nod goes to guys like this in that 1860-1950 range.

@@KRAFTWERK2K6 that is a good one .. 🤗

Civil war, 2 world wars, 1919 spanish flu, titanic, great depression, pre-penicillin ... tough life

Just to demonstrate how these 96 years this man lived was a timeframe with a giant leap in technology: One of the first riders of the Pony Express that stared in 1860 could have met Buzz Aldrin that was to become a man that walked on the moon in 1969. From horseback as the fastest way to get from point A to point B to a rocket to the moon! Buzz Aldrin was 39 in 1969 and born in 1930. If the first rider of the Pony Express was 20 years old at that time in 1860, he could have met a 5 year old Buzz Aldrin in 1935 while he himself was 95 years old. One year less older than this man!

James Yancey so hard to say. May God bless him and his generation. They worked hard, didn’t ask for anything, and wanted nothing more than to set successive generations up for success.

@@jamesyancey4854 I was just wondering that. Blood clot may have formed. A time bomb for the poor fellow.

The last soldier of The War Between the States died in 1959 .Confederate. Age 117

John Wilkes Booth was hired by JESUITS TO KILL LINCOLN. It started with Former Roman Catholic Priest Charles Chiniquy. The jesuits tried to get him hanged for exposing them in his book "50 years in the Church of Rome". The Jesuits conspired to bring a false accusation against him, but Abraham Lincoln defended Chiniquy as his lawyer. It was Abraham Lincoln's most high profile case. After a lady named Mrs. Philomene Moffat gave her oath of how she overheard the Jesuit telling his sister to accuse him of inappropriate behavior with her, telling her to do this and he will just forgive her of her sins, she went to the trial to give her testimony. That's what saved Charles Chiniquy. When Lincoln became president he felt it was God's will to free the slaves. He was later murdered by Booth because of the jesuits. Booth said: "I can never repent. God simply made me the instrument of his (Lincoln's) punishment...Booth pressing the medal of the virgin Mary to his breast, when falling mortally wounded "-Trial of Surratt, Volume 1, page 310 From Chiniquy's testimony: "My dear President, I must repeat to you here what I said when at Urbana in 1856. My fear is that you will fall under the blows of a Jesuit assassin if you do not pay more attention than you have done, till now, to protect yourself. Remember that because Coligny was an heretic, as you are, he was brutally murdered in the St. Bartholomew night; that Henry IV. was stabbed by the Jesuit assassin, Revaillac, the 14th of May, 1610, for having given liberty of conscience to his people; and that William the Taciturn was shot dead by another Jesuit murderer, called Girard, for having broken the yoke of the Pope. The Church of Rome is absolutely the same today as she was then; she does believe and teach today, as then, that she has the right and that it is her duty to punish by death any heretic who is in her way as an obstacle to her designs. The unanimity with which the Catholic hierarchy of the United States is on the side of the rebels is an incontrovertible evidence that Rome wants to destroy this republic, and as you are, by your personal virtues, your popularity, your love for liberty, your position, the greatest obstacle to the diabolical schemes, their hatred is concentrated upon you; you are the daily object of their maledictions; it is at your breast they will direct their blows. My blood chills in my veins when I contemplate the day which may come, sooner or later, when Rome will add to all her other iniquities the murder of Abraham Lincoln." When saying these things to the President, I was exceedingly moved, my voice was as choked, and I could hardly retain my tears. But the President was perfectly calm. When I had finished speaking, he took the volume of Busembaum from my hand, read the lines which I had marked with red ink, and I helped him to translate them into English. He then gave me back the book, and said: "I will repeat to you what I said at Urbana, when for the first time you told me your fears lest I would be assassinated by the Jesuits: 'Man must not care where and when he will die, provided he dies at the post of honour and duty.' But I may add, today, that I have a presentiment that God will call me to Him through the hand of an assassin. Let His will, and, not mine be done!"-"50 Years in the Church of Rome",1885, page 350

@@weirdchamp4601, I didn't ask for your opinion, but yes, ignorant fools such as yourself may not care. However, intelligent truth seeking individuals would care why Booth killed a great Christian U.S. President like Lincoln.
