LINCOLN AND MARY OWENS.
How the Kind Hearted but Ungainly Young
Man Sued and Was Rejected.

How the Kind Hearted but Ungainly Young
Man Sued and Was Rejected.
To the Editor of the st. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette:
In the Gazette Of yesterday appears an
article, copied from the Chicago Inter-
Ocean, entitled Abraham Lincoln's Love, I"
in which occur some errors that I am
tempted to try to correct. The article re-
ferred to purports to be On interview with
w G. Greene, with whom I am we'll &C.
quainted, in which history of Mr.. Lin
coins courtship with Mary Owens is given.
The Mary Owens referred to in the inter-
view, and who, in 1910, married Jesse Vine-
yard, was my mother. She spoke
of him as man Of fine common sense.
But though she admired the man for his
many sterling qualities of head and heart,
yet in person and gait he was SO awkward
and ungainly, and in the nicer and more
delicate attentions of nan to woman be was
SO defective, that she could not love him.
It was in 1886, while Mary Owens was
vlsitinga sister Of hers in Menard county,
ILL.,, that Mr.. Lincoln became acquainted
with her, and finally, in 1887, he offered her
his hand and heart in marriage. He pre-
sented his suite with frankness and can
dor and with a sincerity of purpose that
was characteristic of tho man. Shortly
after making this proposal. and after an in
timation that his suit would be unavailing,
Mr.. Lincoln went to Springfield, ILL.,, as
member of the legislature of that state,
from whence he wrote Mary Owens letter
dated May z, 1887, which letter and others
from the same writer are still among the
papers belonging to the estate Of my
mother. A part Of that reads as follows:
whatever woman casts her lot with
mine, should any ever do so, tits my inten-
ton to do all in my power to make her
happy and contented; and there is nothing
can immagine that would make me more
unhappy than to fail in the effort. / know
I would be much happier with you than the
way am, provided saw no signs Of dis
content in you. What you have said to me
may have been in jest, or may have mis-
understood 1t. II 80. then let it be. forgot

A Graphic Pen Picture


The following letter was written from three
and one half miles northeast of Fort Ridgely
by Herbert A. Gates, one of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis surveying corps:
MUD LAKE, July IS, 1881 ON Friday, the day
OF the storm, we were surveying preliminary

heavy thunder rolled About mile from camp the

wagon. when the storm struck US. Seven of us

was thrown against tree, and had his left side
smashed in. The wind hurled me through the tent
as it fell. tried to hold on to tree but in vain,
and was thrown about four rods against more trees,
and this time stuck, while the air was hled with
sticks and iron flying in every direction. One of
Fineys boys was about sixty rods north of Us with
large herd of cattle He was carried into the air
and cast to the ground, ifeless lump of humanity.
When found the only article of dress he had was
his shirt collar. His fathers house was entirely
destroyed. mile southeast of us lived family
named Oliver. The father, mother and four chill
dren were killed. and another child fatally injured
The heavy stills of bridge near US were picked up
and driven into the ground from four to six feet

After Mr.. Lincoln's offer Of marriage
had been declined, under date Of Aug. 10,
1887, he again wrote to Mary Owens as
follows:
"You will no doubt think it strange that
/ should write you letter on the same day
on which we parted; and can only ac-
count for it by supposing that
seeing you lately makes me think Of you
more than usual; while at our late meetisg
we had but few expressions of thoughts.
You must know that I cannot see you or
think Of you with Indifference; and yet it
may be that you are mistaken in regard to
what my real feelings toward you are. If I
knew you were not should not trouble
man would know enough without further
l.
rightto plead ignorance, and your bounden
duty to allow the plea. I want in all cases
to do right; and most particularly so in all
cases with women, want ut this partic-
ular time, more than anything else, to do
right with you; and if knew it would be
doing right, as really suspect 1t would, to
let you alone, would do it." Further on
in the same letter he says: "What do
wish is that our further acquaintance
shall depend on yourself. IF such further
acquaintance would contribute nothing to
your happiness am sure it would not to

bound to me, I am now willing to release

other hand am willing, and even anxious.
to bind you faster, if can be convinced
that it will, in any considerable degree, add
to your happiness. This, indeed, is the
whole question with me. Nothing would
mako me more miserable than to believe
you notwithstanding more happy than
to know you were So"
The foregoing extracts from the letters
of Mr.. Lincoln are referred to in this con-
nection, as demonstrating in the correct
ness of the information which obtained
from my mother when talking to her on
the subject. She said that while she ad-
mired him she did not entertain for him
that feeling which would have justified her
in accepting his offer, and that she and Mr..
Lincoln never were in fact engaged to be
She found great pleasure in his
company, but when the time came for
final decision she concluded, after an ex-
animation of her own heart, that 1t would
not be right to tell him yes, and so she told
him no. B. r. VINEYARD.

But anchorites sometimes must have vacation,
And then they indulge in their own inclination.

For 1t dawned on bis mind that he'd ''lit upon

His eyes answered back, ''Look out for a

And-no, tho 1 wish could say that he kissed

I have to record that she had small sister,
Who "bobbed up serenely" just then, so he
missed her.
