Indiana.
Shortly after the assassination OF
Abraham Lincoln a picnic party from
the little town Of Dale went up to
Lincoln City to the Lincoln farm and
spent the day. The excitement was
so high at that time that old people
as well as young went to the farm and
enjoyed themselves visiting the his
torical places IN and about the LIN
coin farm.
The cabin was stllI standing and but
a short distance Up on the hillside was
a marble slab that marked The spot
where the good mother Of Abraham
Lincoln lay beneath the sod. While
there the picnickers went through the
cabin where Lincoln saw his mother
pass away and from which place he
returned to Kentucky 10 get a minister
to come to Indiana and bury his moth
er. Nancy Hanks Lincoln. A few old
relies we're found. among them being
an old knot maui and an old fashioned
mouldboard plow. both OF which had
been left there when the Llncolna
moved 10 Illinois. The old plow was
brought outside and an old man by
the name Of Gabriel Medcalf stood be-
tween the handles while one Of the
party caught a picture Of the old Lin.
coin cabin. The old man carrying the
pole was Joseph ?. Haines. better
known as Uncle Porter Halnea. The

spot where the new ole now stands,
in the center OF a large court square.
It was frame building; the architec-
ture was, to say the least, very novel.
A ditch. two feet wide and two feet
deep. was filled with smoothly hewn
logs. on which was built a stone wall
IS inches high. This furnished the
foundation upon which the building
proper rested. The building itself
was never entirely completed. It was
weather boarded, but neither plastered
nor lathed. 1t remained IA this condi-
tion until 1885. which was after the
Lincoln family had moved to Illinois.

The log cabin in which the future

about the country as a show. With
