THAT LAND OF LINCOLN'S.
Crawford County and Lincoln High
way Coming in For Notice.

The Bulletin some weeks ago had
a news story about the Lincoln
Highway officials and picture takers
being in Denison and making visit
to the land near this city that was
once owned by Abraham Lincoln, the
martyred president. This news story
has been taken and copied all over
the United States.
The last issue of the State High
way Commission Service Bullein,
Just out, contains nicely headed ar
ticle with this fact, also, as follows:
The only farm land ever owned by
Abraham Lincoln, was in Iowa, six
and one-half miles northwest of Deni-
son in Crawford county. There were
12O acres in the tract and President
Lincoln still owned it when he was
shot down by assassin Booth. Hon.
]. B. McHose of Boone, at a recent
meeting of the Lincoln Highway Of
ficials at Boone, called attention to
this interesting fact in urging the
Iowa officials to greater efforts In
putting the route into the best pos
sible condition.
"When this highway was named
much pISSSulc dnu pau AOCN 0OHSA
ment," said Mr.. McHose, "was
brought to bear to have it laid
through Springfield, ILL.,, because
that was the old home of the great
president whose name it bears.
'Yet how many know that this
great road was actually laid almost
in sight of the only farm land that
Lincoln ever owned? And that Iowa
Z has this honor?
"Six and one-half miles northwest
of DenisOn in Crawford county which
is on the Lincoln Highway, in sec
ton 18-24-39, Abraham Lincoln
owned 100 acres and still owned it
when assassinated. This is the story:
"In 1882 Lincoln was captain of a
company of volunteers raised for the
Black Hawk Indian war, but they
saw no fighting and in five weeks
we're disbanded. Under an act of con-
gress passed in 1855 these soldiers
were entitled to land grant, and
September 10, 1860-just before he
was elected president-Lincoln filed
on the land in question with war;
rant signed by James Buchanan,
whom he was soon destined to sue
coed as president. This land remain
ed in the Lincoln family until 1892
when Robert Lincoln, who then rep
resented us as ambassador to Great
Britain, as sole heir, decided it to
Henry Edwards, and in the same
year it was decided to Peter F. Jep-
son, who still owns it. "-Denison
