General Notes: Husband - James Buchanan Jameson

---

During the Civil war he was first lieutenant of the Union Light Guard, Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, and commander of President Lincoln's and Andrew Johnson's body-guard.

He removed [from Ohio?] to Lake Como, Putnam County, Florida.

They resided on Lake Como, near Welaka, Florida.

He was 1st Lieutenant, Union Light Guards, and on the staff of Gov. David Todd, of Ohio. When Lincoln became president, he received a captain's commission, and was made officer in command of President Lincoln's escort, part of the 7th Ohio calvary. He was with Mr. Lincoln when the president was assassinated, and later was commander of the escort of President Johnson. In 1887 he was stationed at the Washington barracks.
Mrs. Lincoln presented Capt. Jameson with a cane carved out of orange wood, an exquisitely elaborate piece of workmanship, for which he refused an offer of five hundred dollars.
Capt. Jameson had a fine house on the banks of the beautiful Lake Como, in Florida. In 1893, leaving his wife there he went to the World's fair in Chicago, on the way back he visited Mrs. Jameson's sister and friends in Hanover, Pennsylvania, and while there received a despatch calling him immediately to his home in Florida. To his surprise and horror he found that his wife had been robbed and murdered, and the house burned down to conceal the crime. He was so overcome that he himself died in two weeks after he reached home.
