Edwin Booth

Booth

Brother Edwin T. Booth, was the Brother of Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth.  However, he should be remembered for much more, including the fact that he once saved the life of Robert Lincoln, the President's son.  Brother Edwin was a member of New York Lodge 330. A renowned Shakespearean actor, Brother Edwin was once asked what he considered his favorite prose.  In answering, he asked the audience to stand and then he repeated the Lord's Prayer.
