cabin which they found vacant. The
couple never held a deed to a foot of
ground in Larue county.
The huge crowd at the farm took
great interest in that which probably
caused Thomas Lincoln to select this
spot for his hOme-the Lincoln spring.
Ihs never failing stream of water
comes from the ground today as it did
in Lincoln's time.
The Lincolns lived on the farm where
Abe was born for several years. Their
eldest daughter. Sallie, was born there.
When Abe was about four years old
the family moved to a home on Knob
creek. There occurred the incident
which Lincoln remembered wildly all
his life, where he was saved from
drowning in a creek by Austin Cola
her. From this farm the Lincoln fam
lily moved to Indiana.
The farm fell into the possession of
Micajah Middleton who sold to Rich
ard A. Creal, the Lincoln farm as it
stands today. Creal built new log
home and for many years used the
cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was
born as corn crib. At the death of
Creal the farm passed into the hands
of his heirs. Many years after the
death of Lincoln the farm began to
grow in fame as "Lincoln's birthplace"
Many people came to see it and among
them was Alfred w. Denett, a wealthy
restaurant owner of New York city.
Denett bought the farm, paying the
Creal heirs $1,000 and the deed to the
property was made February II, 1895,
just Sc years after the birth OF Lin
coin.
Denett had plans for the purchase
of the farm by congress and CONVEX
sion into a national park and spent
considerable money in ali attempt to
get a successful hearing of his propo-
sition at Washington, but failed. He
was the first to attempt. any real i'm
provement of the property. He built
fence around it, cleared away the
underbrush and made driveway from
the entrance to the famous spring He
was planning to build house over the
cabin to protect it from the elements
when business reverses forced him to
make an assignment.
Just before this he had complied
with the request of the officials of the
exposition in Nashville, Tenn. and had
shipped the Lincoln cabin to be placed
on exhibition there. From Nashville
the cabin went to New York, where it
was exhibited several months. Later
1t was stored in a warehouse.
A few days before making an as
signment Denett decided the farm and
cabin to David r. Crear, treasurer Of
the Christian and Missionary Alliance
of New York, as payment on a note
he had given them in a contribution.
His creditors brought suit in Larue
county to have this transfer set aside.
This was done at the May term Of
court 1906 and once more the Lincoln
farm, with taxes in arrears, was on

the nation, from the Lincoln Farm as
ISOLATION.
The occasion was marked with elab-
crate ceremony, of course, and thou
sands of visitors were present from all
parts Of the country-many of them
persons of real Importance. This was
the third time the people of Larue
county have seen a president of the
United States among them in seven
years.
The first exercises held in connec-
ton with the Lincoln farm, after it
was proposed to give it to the United
States, were held February II, 1909,
when President Roosevelt laid the cor
nerstone of the Lincoln Memorial hall.
On November 8, 1911, President Taft
presided at ceremonies incidental to
the dedication of Memorial hall. And
then President Wilson went there for
the finishing touch. 1t is unlikely that
another president will go to Larue
county for long, long time to come.
The Stars and Stripes flew bravely
and defiantly from the Lincoln statue
In Hodgenville's public square at the
latest celebration. Just opposite, the
courthouse was draped lavishly in red,
white and blue. And yet, only ten
years ago in August the courthouse
bore decoration of another kind. 1t
was a plain hand bill which advertised
the fact that the Lincoln farm was to
be sold to settle unpaid taxes.
The Memorial hall, built at a cost
of $250,000, is the center of this new
national park. The hall houses the
cabin in which Lincoln was born. This
is the original structure rescued from
q warehouse in New York after it had
been carried around the country for
exhibition purposes.
Over the entrance doors to Memorial
hall are inscribed these words:
Here over the log cabin where
Abraham was born, destined to
preserve the union and to free the
slave a grateful people have dedi-
Gated this memorial to unity, peace
and brotherhood among these
states.
Within the hall, the cabin occupies
the principal place. 1t is surrounded
by a heavy bronze chain, for no one
is permitted to enter or touch the
cabin.
The first owner of the farm which
has passed into possession of the ma
ton. was, so far as records tell, a
man named DuckwOrth. Court records
do not show how he came to own 1t,
but 1t is supposed he secured it in a
distribution of public lands by the state
or federal government. No land grant
or deed has ever been found to prove
his legal ownership.
Local historians agree in the state
ment based on the declarations of old
citizens of Larue county that when
Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lin
coin moved to take up their residence
shortly after their marriage they were
"squatters" and moved into the log
