Here’s an amazing piece of American history, and TV history. On Feb. 9, 1956, Mr. Samuel Seymour appeared on the the CBS game show “I’ve Got a Secret.” As you’ll see, this 96-year-old gentleman’s secret is, he witnessed the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln (150 years ago today, April 14, 1865). He was five years old at the time.
Mr. Seymour passed away two months after this show was broadcast, and he was the last surviving person who was present at Ford’s Theater that evening.
