ABRAHAM LINCOLN
April is, 1865 & April Is, 1915

(By Mis- j. B. Peterson, Athol, Ida J
ers stopped to think on Wednesday
Of last week that 1t was just fifty
years ago that day since Abraham
Lincoln was shot-that was April IA,
1865, and so years last Thursday
since he breathed bis last, and Secre-
tary Stanton said "Now he belongs
to the ages " Fifty years, a half a
century since that awful tragedy
which deprived our nation and its
people Of man whose equal, or his
superior, we have never had since, =
at least, at the head of our nation.
Fifty years ago war was the curse
Of the United States as it is through
out Europe today. Flags Of peace
and Joy waved from the Atlantic to
the Pacific on the morning of April
IA, 1865, crepe took their place on
the morning Of April is, 1866. AL
though half century has elapsed,
there Is no ones memory more revered
IN the hearts OF the American people
than Abraham Lincoln. AS soon as
child is old enough to understand,
almost, he is told the life story of
this martyred president
Grand monuments have been
erected In his honor. We have gazed
in wonder and admiration at the
beautiful monumentlnL Lincoln Park,
Chicago, park which bears his i'm
mortal name. We have also seen the
magnificent structure erected 10 his
home city, Springfield, ILL.,, also the
little law Office and his home in which
he lived In that city. This was 10
1899, when we visited that city when
only young school girl, but some
how the thoughts. the feelings that
stirred US then as we gazed at those
structures, part Of Lincoln, as it
were, we have never forgotten.
We have listened to many story
of Lincoln told us by the grand
mother OF one of our schoolmates who
was schoolmate and a glrlhood
friend of Lincoln's wife. We wish
we had space to relate some of these
In this paragraph, but as we told in
these items before, a couple years
ago, 1t was this dear old lady, a Mrs.
Lanbe, by name, who owned piece
OF the dress worn by Abraham
LincJln's wife that night at the
theatre when he was shot.
1t seems doubly sad that everyone
connected with that party fifty years
ago, met sad and tragic death.
The central figure dying so suddenly
by the hands of the assassin; John
Wilkes Booth, the actor, shot like a
dog 10 a burning barn; the man who
shot him, Sergeant Boston Corbett,
went insane; Mrs. Lincoln past the
last of her days in madness and OBJ
liVion; the friends who were with the
president and his wife In the box at
Ford's Theatre, MAJOR Rathbone and
