DID YOU KNOW that Edwin Arthur "Ned" Emerson, an actor little known today, is buried in the Old Presbyterian Cemetery in Lynchburg, Virginia? Emerson was an actor who was performing on the stage of Ford’s Theatre in Washington, DC the night that John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. In fact Emerson was a close friend of Booth and they often performed on stage together. Emerson’s first wife was from Lynchburg and he operated a bookshop and news stand on Lynchburg’s Main Street

for a while during the late 19th century.
