Saturday Morning, February 16, 1861:

It was a sunny, cool and dry winter morning. As so many winter days are, it was very different from the day before, with its wind and wet and freezing cold conditions.  President-elect Abraham Lincoln, his family and his party were leaving the Weddell House in downtown Cleveland, heading toward the Euclid Street Depot for a 9:00 A.M. departure. "Large numbers of the people were early astir this morning to obtain a parting glimpse of the president and party ... Lincoln was conducted to his carriage, amid the cheers of the people, and the procession commenced its march. The route was down Superior street, Union lane and River
