Papa was sick aid sleeping, oh, so

down stairs, and knew they ought
not to be down there, and there had
been so many bad men breaking into

Indianapolis telegram: The arrange
ments which are now being perfected
by the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Monu-
meat Association for. clearing away the
underground and beautifyinS tie site
OF the grave Of the mother OF Abraham
Lincoln has awakened interest in. q
romantic spot in Indiana, and led to
some pleasant as well as some sor-
rowfdi reeollecticns in connection with
the residence of the Lincoln family in
Indiana. The site Of Mrs. Lincoln's
grave is the top Of a steep hill a short
distance from Lincoln City, Spencer
county. and few hundred feet from
the spot where once stood the Lincoln
cabin, rude log structure which
Thomas Lincoln and his son Abraham
assisted by earlier emigrants, erected
In 1916. The association which has
undertaken the work of redeeming the
site Of the grave and converting the
l6-acre tract which surrounds it into
a slightly park .is composed of men,
bers OF the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. the Sons Of Veterans. the Loyal
Legion and the Lincoln League, while
Gov. Mount is president.
Thomas Lincoln, his wife, Nancy
Hanks Lincoln. and his son, Abraham
found Indiana a veritable wilderness
when they came here from Kentucky.
The father was a carpenter sby trade
and the rude domicile was soon COM
pleted. The family was. even poorer
than was usual in those days, and ira
dition says that they brought with
them practically nothing from their
home in Kentucky, and that their
.neighbors supplied them at first with
some things that were absolutely nee
essary to bodily comfort. They: had
been In their new home only q short
time when the wife and mother fell
sick, and after lingering while died.
Her disease was probably malarial
fever. The father and son rived the
boards out of which the rude coffin was
made, and less than a half dozen per-
sons attended the burial. There: was
no one present who was qualified to de-
liver funeral discourse, end that cere-
mony was dispensed with, but several
months later, when an itinerant minis
ter came along, the father and son at
tended him to the grave, where short
prayer was offered for the repose of
the dead and homely lesscn drawn
from the life she had lived.
Thomas Lincoln went back to Ken
lucky some IS months later and soon
returned with another wife, "the angel
mother" as the martyred president
was wont to call her in after years. He
had not prospered we'll here, and in a
few years sold his small possessions
and went to Illinois. The site of the
grave was neglected. The bramble and
the brier grew over 1t and hid it, from

view. but more than 40f years after,
when the eyes Of the nation were turn
ed upon the son, some one remem-
bered that his mother was buried on
top Of the hill short distance from
the old Lincoln cabin. Then some one
cleared away the bushes and let the
sun shine on the neglected grave. The
war came, end then the tragedy in
Ford's theater. but the bushes had
grown over the grave again, and years
went by before any one thought to re-
deem the spot from the wilderness Of
underground which covered it. Glen"
Studebaker, the wagon manufacturer
of South Bend, visited the spot one
day and blushed that it should have
been Neglected 50 many years. He
caused the briars and brambles to be
cleared away, and then ordered stone
to be placed at the head of the grave,
and neat iron fence was erected
around 1t.
Mr.. Studebaker paid an occasional
visit to the grave and made provision
for keeping the immediate site in or
der, but the surroundings were ~un-
slightly, and nearly two years ago
someone wrote to President Mckinley
calling attention to the neglected spot
and suggesting that the grave of a
martyred presidents mother should
have better care. The letter was for
warded to Gov. Mount by the presi-
dent, and steps were at once taken to
form monument association.
Capt. John Lamar Of Spencer county
is the only person now living who is
known to have been associated with
the Lincolns during their residence in
Indiana. The captain was five years
younger than Abraham, but he has q
distinct recollection of how the future
president whitfield off the surfaces of
boards that he might have something
to figure on, and how he sat up at
night and strained his eyes before the
old fireplace in the log cabin reading
from the few books that the settle
ment afforded. and which the young
Lincoln had borrowed. When asked
about his reading by young Lamar the
future president said, II wouldn't give
a cent for a boy who didn't know more
today than he did yesterday" The
Lamars and the Liacolns lived near
each other, and the captain recalls
that he and Abraham often played to-
gether and had often slept in the same
| bed.
