A fact from Abraham Lincoln's hearse appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 March 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Abraham Lincoln's "immense" hearse was escorted by 160,000 people as it was drawn through New York City?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2017/March. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Abraham Lincoln's hearse.

What happened to it?[edit]

The hearse is described in the past tense throughout, but the article could use mention of what actually happened to it after it was used to carry Lincoln's body. One of them appears to have burned in 1887 (link 1, link 2), but that doesn't seem to be the one used in NY. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:35, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
