Ward Hill Lamon
Ward Hill Lamon (January 6, 1828 – May 7, 1893) was a personal friend and self-appointed bodyguard of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Lamon was famously absent the night Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865, having been sent by Lincoln to Richmond, Virginia.
==Background==
Lamon's relation with Lincoln has been traced by Clint Clay Tilton in ''Lincoln and Lamon''. Lamon was born near Winchester, Virginia, studied medicine for two years, and moved to Danville, Illinois, when he was 19 to live with relatives.〔Tilton, Clint Clay: "Lincoln and Lamon: Partners and Friends," ''Publication of the Illinois State Historical Library,'' page 175. Phillips Brothers State Printers, 1931.〕 He attended the University of Louisville to receive his law degree and was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1851.〔Hamand, L: "Lincoln's Particular Friend," ''Essays in Illinois History,'' page 19. Southern Illinois University Press, 1968.〕 In 1850, he moved back to Virginia, married Angelina Turner, and then returned to Illinois to practice law. Angelina was a daughter of Ehud and Priscilla Strode Turner, whose house at Beddington, West Virginia, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 as the Priscilla Strode Turner House. Angelina died in April 1859, leaving a daughter, Dorothy, who was raised in Danville by Lamon's sister, Mrs. William Morgan.〔Tilton, page 183.〕 In November 1860, Lamon married Sally Logan, daughter of Judge Stephen T. Logan.〔Tilton, page 188.〕 Logan had been Lincoln's law partner from 1851 to 1854.〔Lawson, S: "Logan, Stephen Trigg, ''American National Biography Online'' http://www.anb.org/articles/04/04-00636.html〕
