ONE FAILURE TO FORGET.

17WO others, both men, had nodded
silent assent when Wooler made
the declaration, lightly, that the
pleasures Of memory must surely
pan before the pleasures of forgetting.

ABRAHAM lINcoLN'S ANCESTRY.
A Distinguished Grandfather Ancient
Seat OF the Family.

Some members of the Lincoln family
lately visited Reading. Pa, to look up
the ancestry of Abraham Lincoln. and
the ancient seat OF the family. which
is in Exeter Township. about four
miles from that city. 1t was built by
Mordecai and Mary Lincoln prior to
1886, and in it that year was born ABB
raham Lincoln. who was the grand
father of Abraham Lincoln, President of
the United States. The elder Abraham
Lincoln was a prominent man in the
affairs of the county in his day. Prior
to the Revolution he served rs a County
Commissioner for a number of terms.
and during the Revolution. on March
q. 1777. he was appointed one of the
sub-Lieutenants of the county. In that
Office he was very active in the raising
of troops and IN the forwarding of sup
plies TO the Continental army. and was
frequently complimented from head
quarters for his zeal and ability. From
17S2 TO 1885 he was n delegate TO the
Pennsylvania convention TO ratify the
Federal Constitution. He was also a
member OF the Constitutional conven-
tiOu VI lfoS huu lISu. Wnlcn cOuHTneu
the original Constitution Of the Com
monwealth. He and his family were
large land proprietors in Exeter and
vicinity, were the owners of several
mills along the Ohlinger Greek, aud
were the first people in this county to
utilize the dow of the streams for IRA
CATION during dry seasons, the irri-
eating bitches on their farm being still
visible. although. owing to the diversion
of the water TO other purposes. it is no
longer used. Farmer Lincoln's sigma
ture is found affixed to many Of the
deeds and public documents in the
archives Of the county. The family
have almost entirely disappeared from
this county. there being but n direct
descendant of the name, John Lincoln,
who, unfortunately. for many years has
been an inmate of the Berks County
Almhouse. Another descendant Of the
family is Mrs. Jacobs, the wife of How
ard Jacobs, the w~ell-known lawyer OF
Reading.

are very extensively carried on, ard

About q mile south of Washington
