The Evening Star, April 28, 1865 Herold.  David C. Herold, the accomplice of Booth, better known as Dave Herold, is about 22 years of age, and for the most part of his life has resided in the Sixth Ward, where, after he left the school of Charlotte Hall, St. Mary's county, Md., he entered a drug store.  His lamented father held for many years a responsible position at the Navy Yard, and none stood higher than he in the community.  Dave, however, is not a chip of the old block in every respect, and is best known for his braggadocio style and vagrant habits.  He is a great talker, and the wonder of those who know him is that he was ever trusted by Booth with any knowledge of the conspiracy.  Another wonder is that Herold managed to keep Booth's secret.
Last summer he left the drug store of Dr. F.S. Walsh, where he had been for a considerable time employed, and made some effort to obtain an appointment of Surgeon's Steard on the Potomac Flotilla, but in this he failed.  He has been out of employment since, and has lived rather fast, keeping a horse, and riding out frequently, dressing in flashy style, and all without any visible means of support.  He has always been known as a rebel sympathizer.

Since his capture he has endeavored to keep up a reticence very foreign to his nature and which was doubtless enjoined on him by Booth.  When left by himself in his cell it has been observed, however, that his sham of stoicism gives way, and he bursts into fits of convulsive weeping.

Yesterday afternoon, his photograph was taken at his place of confinement. He was dressed in dark grey pantaloons, light blue military vest, a faded blue jacket and black slouch hat.  From the sullen frown on his countenance it would appear that he was rather averse to being photographed.
The Evening Star, February 15, 1869 The Bodies of the Assassination Conspirators Removal of the Remains of Herold Reinterment at Congressional Cemetery Order for the Delivery of Atzerodt's Body Application for the Body of Booth On Saturday afternoon, Rev. J. Vaugh Lewis, of St. John's (Episcopal) Church, made application to President Johnson, in behalf of the mother and sister of David E. Herold, who was executed with Mrs. Surratt, Payne, and Atzerot, July 6th, 1865, for Herold's remains, and the order was immediately given.  The order was placed in the hands of Mr. Joseph Gawler, undertaker, who presented it to the commandant at the Arsenal, General Ramsey, and the detail of men was made who soon dug to the box containing the remains, (lying between the cases containing the bodies of Payne and Atzerodt) and they were delivered to Mr. G., who at once took them to his establishment on Pennsylvania avenue, between 17th and 18th streets.  The top of the case was found to have decayed and fallen in.  The body was recovered from the pine case and placed in a fine walnut coffin, ornamented with silver handles and screws, with a plate on the breast inscribed "David E. Herold, aged twenty-three years."  The flesh had entirely disappeared, the skeleton only remaining, but the clothing appeared to be in a afair state of preservation.  The head was entirely separated from the body.  The phial containing a parchment slip with the name of the deceased was found in the box and handed to his mother.

The coffin containing the remains was removed in a hearse today at 12 m. from Mr. Gawler's establishment to the Congressional Cemetery, where it was met by the mother and five sisters of the deceased, and Rev. J. Vaugh Lewis, pastor of St. John's Episcopal Church.  It was immediately removed to the grave prepared for it, which is in the old portion of the cemetery, about thirty feet south of the monument of the Indian Chief Push-Ma-Ta-Ha, [Incorrect, Push-Ma-Ta-Ha's site is approx. 200 ft. to the east.  Probably referring to the large monument to William Pope Duvall, one-time governor of the territory of Florida, which is in the location described.] and adjoining the grave of the father of the deceased.  A cross of flowers was placed upon the coffin by one of Herold's sisters, and the funeral services of the Episcopal Church were performed by Rev. Mr. Lewis, after which the coffin was lowered and the grave filled up.  The ceremony was strictly private, and besides the officiating clergyman, the only persons present were Herold's mother and sisters who seemed very much affected. ...
