In Philadelphia, President Lincoln's remains lay in state at Independence Hall for two days

At around four in the afternoon, the body of President Abraham Lincoln arrived in Philadelphia on its long, winding journey to Illinois.  The casket was taken to Independence Hall and at six o'clock the doors were opened to the public until ten that night.  Before dawn the next day, a massive crowd was already gathered for the reopening of the door at six a.m. By midnight, an estimated 85,000 people had filed past the murdered president's coffin.  The body left the city early the following morning.  (By John Osborne)
