Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Felton, Samuel Morse 1809-1889 (search)

Felton, Samuel Morse 1809-1889 Engineer; born in West Newbury, Mass., July 17, 1809; graduated at Harvard in 1834; connected with the Fitchburg Railroad until 1851, when he became president of the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad. It was he who successfully planned the secret passage of Mr. Lincoln from Harrisburg to Washington, and thereby defeated a deep-laid plot to capture the President-elect. When communication through Baltimore was impossible (in April, 1861), he devised a plan for transporting troops via Annapolis. He died in Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 24, 1889.
