1880 induced Thomas Lincoln, Dennis
Hanks and my father to pull up stakes
and also remove to Illinois, where Abe

gained for him the Presidency.
Having arrived In Macon county,
Ill, the party. which numbered thir-

and Abe Lincoln were in their 2lst
year, and they. with John Hanks, Abe's
second cousin, built the log cabin
which some say was exhibited on Bos-
ton Common thirty years or more ago.
They also split the famous fence rails
at that time, samples of which did
much to arouse the enthusiasm In the
Illinois convention in 1860. which Sc
cured the Presidential nomination for
Lincoln.
After serving as major in the Black
Hawk war, in which Abe Lincoln was
captain, my father became one of the
earliest settlers in Missouri, and dur
ing the greater part of his life kept a
tavern, first at Hannibal and later at
FRANKFORT.

to those who lived along the river bot

went several miles down the river on
raft, one day, to the mill, to have
some corn ground, leaving the chill

been threatening to rise for several
days, but the children well knew from
former experiences, that II the river

which was the first home Of Abraham
Lincoln when he came to Illinois. No
body knows what has become OF the
famous old structure. 1t was a hut Of
one room, about fourteen feet square.

The old structure first attracted pub

was brought back from there, and a
cabin, which was said to be the same
one, was on exhibition at the Worlds
Fair In Chicago, although Its anthem

my father, William s. Hall, was a
son of Martha Hanks, sister of Nancy
Hanks, who married Thomas Lincoln
and became the mother of Abraham
Lincoln. So, you see, my 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

When questioned as to the antece-

families, Mrs. Moore says 1t is tradi-

grandfather was, while they were
clearing the ground to plant corn. on
their arrival in Kentucky. 1t was she
who told me my father was born in

This Is the only faint glimpse, but
what 1t shows is rather pleasant-the
generous child and the patriotic house
hold. But there Is no question that
these first years of his life had their
lasting effect upon the temperament
OF this great mirthful and melancholy
man.
He had little schooling. He accom-.
panied his sister, Sarah, to the only
schools In their neighborhood, one
kept by Zachariah Riney and another
by Caleb Hazel. where he learned the
alphabet and little more. But Of all
those advantages for the cultivation
OF a young mind and spirit which
every home now offers to its children,
the books. toys. ingenious games and
daily devotion of parental love, he
knew absolutely nothing.
