Cattell, an associate of Dr. Brown's, who was the actual embalmer of President Lincoln. For many, many years I had thought it was Dr. Brown who did the embalming.
Knowing that this thread is from some time ago, but I can't resist to add the following. Maybe it is somewhat macabre or morbid, but I think it's interesting too.
Henry P. Cattell from the firm Brown & Alexander was indeed Abraham Lincoln’s actual embalmer. He was born Sept 7, 1838 in Blackwoodtown, N.J., son of Samuel Cattell and Catharine Pratt. Married in 1858 (wife deceased in 1889), 5 daughters and 1 son. He served 3 months in the Union Army (enlisted April 26, 1861, 20th Reg. Pa. Vol. Inf – Scott Legion Reg). Became after the war lithographer and joined the Washington D.C. police on Sept 21, 1877. He retired March 1, 1912 from the Police force and died Dec. 8, 1915 in his home at Madrid
Here is a portrait of Henry P. Cattell, dating 1909
In a brochure of the Museum of Funeral Customs, 1440 Monument Avenue, Springfield, Illinois, I read the following:

Science Center -- An article in Saturday’s Section A about the upcoming “Body Worlds” exhibition at the California Science Center said that the center is a county-owned museum. It is a state museum.
On display will be more than 200 human specimens, about 25 of them whole bodies, each preserved through a special “plastination” technique and placed on view in lifelike, free-standing poses.
The exhibitions created by German scientist Gunther von Hagens have attracted more than 14 million viewers in Europe and Asia since their 1995 premiere in Tokyo. With each stop, they have prompted outrage and indignatio
