Abraham as a Hunter.

postoft1ce was established at Gen
tryville in 1924 or 1925. Dennis Hanks
helped to hew the logs used to build
the first storeroom. The following let
ter from Mr.. David Turnham presents
some interesting and perfectly authen.
tic information regarding the village
and the settlements around it in those
early times:
When my father came here in the
spring of 1919 he settled in Spencer coun-
sty. within one mile of Thomas Lincoln
then a widower. The chance for schooling
was poor; but, such as it was. Abraham
and myself attended the same schools
We first had to go seven miles to mill
and then 1t was hand mill that would
grind from ten to fifteen bushels of corn
In day. There was but little wheat
grown at that time, and when we did
have wheat We had to grind 1t on the
mill described and use it without bolting,
as there were no bolts in the country.
Abe and I had to do the milling on horse
back, frequently going twice to get one
grist.
The country was very rough, especially
In the lowlands, so thick with bush that
a man could scarcely get through on foot.
and abounded in game. At that time
there were q great many deer nCkS, and
Abe and myself would go to those lickS
sometimes and watch of nights to kill
deer, though Abe was not SO fond of a
gun as l was. The people in the first
settling Of this country were very So
ciable, kind and accommodating, but
there was more drunkenness and stealing
on a small scale, more immortality. less
religion, less well placed confidence.
For two years Lincoln continued to
live along in the old way. He did not
like to farm, and he never got much Of
his land under cultivation. His princi-
pal crop was corn, and this, with the
game which a rifleman so expert would
easily take from the woods around
him, supplied his table. 1t does not ap-
pear that he employed any of his me-
chanical skill in completing and fur
nishing his own cabin. 1t has already
been stated that the latter had no win
dow, door or floor. But the furniture
if it may be called furniture-was even
worse than the house. Three legged
stools served for chairs. \ bedStead
was made of poles stuck in the cracks
of the logs in one corner of the cabin.
while the other end rested in the crotch
of forked stick sunk in the earthen
eoor. On these We're laid some boards
