HistoryFlicks4u
A 1956 episode clip of the game show I've Got a Secret in which 95-year-old Samuel J. Seymour appears as the mystery guest. He was the last living eyewitness to Lincoln's assassination at Ford's Theater, and the panel tries to guess his secret.
HN commenters link it whenever Lincoln, the Civil War, or how recent history really is comes up, as striking footage of a living witness to the assassination.
