Lincoln's 'Double' to Attend
Blossom Fete in I860 Attire
Visits Willard Balcony*
To See How President
Felt During Parade
If anybody visiting the Cherry
i Blossom Festival today thinks he is
seeing Abraham Lincoln in the audl
[ ence, there'll be a reason for it.
The "double” of the Civil War
1 President, Abraham Lincoln Hite,
62, of Bellefonte, Pa., arrived yes
terday to visit the fete and prom
ised he would appear in the costume
of the 1860s.
After registering at the Willard
Hotel, Mr. Hite stood on the first
(floor balcony on the Pennsylvania
avenue side of the building. Mr.
Lincoln, himself, viewed his inau
| gural parade in 1861 from a balcony
' on this site, when an earlier Willard
I Hotel existed. Mr. Hite just wanted
to see how it felt.
He is a bricklayer, tile-setter and
! stone mason at Pennsylvania State
College. He decided to stay at the
Willard because of its association
with President Lincoln.
Mr. Hite began to take on the
1 “hobby” of being like President
Lincoln about 1939, when people
started to comment on his close
likeness to the late President.
I “Even my barber called me Abe,
and suggested that, like President
Lincoln, I never should get my hair
cut,” Mr. Hite explained. And so
he began to assume the character—
beaver hat, somber clothes and all.
Center Hall School, seven miles
from Bellefonte, sent Mr. Hite here
to view the blossoms, which he has
never seen before. The school is.
very close to his heart.
During four months in 1942, the
children there bought $5,000 worth
of war savings stamps from him, to
get the chance to talk to "Old Abe.”
Then he traveled to 74 schools in
Center County, Pennsylvania, selling
the war stamps. The circuit took
four months, and every day Mr.
Hite was helping the war effort. He
sold $300,000 worth in all, receiv
ing official recognition for his
achievement from the Treasury
Department.
"Those kids spaded gardens and
did anything else to earn a dime to
buy a stamp,” he explained.
He has a way with children, par
ticularly Sandy, 4, and Sherry, 8.
They are the son and daughter of
Douglas A. Stalker, general manager
of the Willard, and Mrs. Stalker.
When Mr. Hite entered the man
ager’s suite, the children politely
greeted him with "Hello, Mr.
Lincoln."
But a few minutes later, they
were crawling onto his knees and
