Der of the Hearst party that visited
Roswell:
washington, D. c., Oct. 80.
Friend Jerry:-The government
party had a most enjoyable and in
| structive visit, and at no point were
| the impressions received en-
| lightened or instructive than in your
| city and fertile valley. The pictures
unfolded there were marvels of beau
ty and richness and instruction.
Incidentally 1 might say that your
arrangements for taking care of the
party and showing is the surround
ing country, were superb, and re-
fleets a stirring citizenship of your
locality, no less than it does your
own judgment. Your people were
fortunate in having one on the
ground who knew in advance as you
did, about what a congressional party
would want on such a trip.
81 think your locality got the best
praise of any which we visited. This
would include Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, both of which are wonder
fully rich and populous.
"Parenthetically, 1 might add that
your celery and the honey you put
aboard reached our dining table a
little later on the trip, but in each
instance the bill of fare proclaimed
it as the product of Roswell. You
got due credit on your two products
not only in this way, but by the uni
versal praise of it in which l Joined
heartily.
81 wish you well, my friend, in
your new home, and may the pros

Lincoln has been dead thirty-eight

were born in the same rude log cabin
in Kentucky, but three months apart,
in 1909, and that she herself is a
grandniece Of LiRcOln's mother, the
famous Nancy Hanks.
She is Mrs. Nellie NJ. Moore. who
was born not many years before the
outbreak Of the civil war, in the then
exceedingly primitive town of Frank
ford, No, and has been for three
months past a resident Of East Pep
perell, Mass, where her husband,
Charles ". Moore, is engineer in
mill
When asked to define her relation
ship to the martyred President, Mrs.
Moore said:
My father, William S. Hail, was
son Of Martha Hanks, sister Of Nancy
Hanks, who married Thomas Lincoln
and became the mother Of Abraham
Lincoln. So, you see, usy father was
first cousin and was second cousin to
the President.
My grandfather, who married Mar
tina Hanks, was Levi Hall, and they
and Thomas and Nancy Lincoln were
living together in the little log cabin
in La Rue county, KY, in 1909, when
Abraham Lincoln was born there. My
father was born three months later IN
the same cabin"
When questioned as to the antece-
dents Of the Hanks, Lincoln and Hall
families, Mrs Moore says it is a tradi-
ton Of all three families that they
emigTated together from New England
about 200 years ago to Pennsylvania,
from there to Virginia and later to
Kentucky, as they eventually did to
Indiana and finally 10 Illinois and Mis-

engaged in investigating the possible
early connection Of the families with
New England, and intends to prepare

her labor.
Continuing her story Of the vicissi-
tudes Of the Lincoln, Hanks and Hall
/ families, Mrs. Moore says:
Ny aunt. ROsanne Hall, who rode

told me that there were Quakers
