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 by trade
and the rude domicile was soon com
pleted. The family was even poorer
than was usual in those days, and ira
dltlon says that they brought with
them practically nothing from, their
home in Kentucky, and that their
ne1ghbors supplied them at first with
some things that were absolutely nee
essary to bodily comfort. They had
been in their new home only 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 a funeral discourse, and that cere-
mony was dispensed with, but several
months NOR tbs later, when an itineraat minis

prayer was offered for the repose of
the dead and a homely lessen drawn
from the life she had lived. ~ =

Capt. John Lamar of Spencer county

known to have been associated with
the Lincolns during their residence in
Indiana. The captain was five. years
younger than Abraham, but he has a
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
