CANNOT LOCATE GRAVE.
THnubas TN P1scing the MonuuseD
for President Lincolnss
Mother.

Recent Investigation as to the site
Of the grave of President Lincoln's
mother In Spencer county. Ind. has
raised serious doubt as to whether
the exnct spot can be located when
the time comes for the Indiana com
mission to erect monument and i'm
prove the grounds, and there is much
question as to whether the stone that
now marks the grave is really oEer the
grove Of Mrs. Lincoln.
Some time after the burial OF Mrs
Lincoln the bodies of DR.. Cessna and
Mrs. Gentry. pionsers Of the county.
were buried near the gruse OF Mrs.
Lincoln. but for many years no stone
marked any of the graves. When the
heads1une was placed at one OF the
graSea, supposed to be that of the
presidents mother, there were con-
fleting opinions regarding which
grave contained the body that It u:as
desired to mark. and the stone was
placed in position without certainty
as to the fact.
Since then there has been much dis
cnnston OF the matter. bat no satisfac-
tory conclusion has been reached. De-
HendantA OF DR.. Cessna aud Mrs. Cen
try now live IN Spencer and Dubois
counties. but none of them are able
TO say where the bodies were buried,
except That the three CRATES were very
close tosether.

The custom of sending palms and
