Alright, I know this wasn't Allan's intent (ok, I
don't know, I just feel it wasn't), but I've never
seen a rule that said if a normal person died of a
head wound that they couldn't come back harrowed. 
Head wounds are only effective at taking down harrowed
or walking dead.  Nor have I seen any rule that by
putting extra lead into a "dead" dead body's head,
that it will prevent them from rising.  I also have
not seen a rule that says a walking dead brought down
by a head wound cannot be raised again as a walking
dead.  ALSO, I do not recall seeing a rule that says a
harrowed brought down by a head wound cannot come back
as walking dead ... and if you want to really stretch
it

-extra spoiler space besides the spoiler space above-






a harrowed brought down by a head wound can still come
back harrowed, just a different manitou and soul in
the body than the original (or consider it 2 different
harrowed using the same body at different times).

Now I know in Allan's example he was using his own
house interpritation, and therefor Lincoln is dead. 
Perfectly acceptible.  Other views?
