I deleted reference to caisson. Freeman and the Lexington Gazette of 10/21/1870 describe a hearse. Actually the article had mentioned both a hearse and a caisson, which made no sense. One or the other, can't have both. What is source for boots reversed in stirrups? Junglerot56 03:22, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, this is embarrassing. I am pretty sure it was in the cited brochure from the Lee Chapel, but I cannot find my copy of it anymore and the Chapel does not have it online. Therefore, I removed the reference to the boots and stirrups and clarified that the casket was riding on the caisson (which is what was informally called the hearse previously). If anyone finds a copy of the brochure, please help us out. Hal Jespersen 00:09, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
