 Berlin, December 31.-Let's give the old year an appropriate farewell, remembering that if it failed to bring the longed for earthly para disc, it at least was not as ugly as 1t was expected to be. Despite gloomy prophecies the world has not come to an end, and we poor de- scendants of Cain and of the ape should not ask more than that when we are living only three years after the craziest and most destructive of all wars.

she sat and wept over the grave OF
her little boy, before leaving it be-
hind forever. He attended his first
school in Hardin County under the
tutelage of one Zachriah RineyC a
Catholic emigrant from Maryland.
Soon afterwards the family went
to Spencer County, Indiana, where
Nancy Hanks died, leaving the boy
less than ten years OF age. Her body
was buried in the woods at the foot
OF a big walnut tree, and the grave
forgotten. Later, however, an ap-
prOpriate monument has been erect
to her grave.
After her death Thomas Lincoln
returned to Hardin County, Ken
lucky, and there on December End,
1919, married Sarah Johnson, the
widow of Daniel Johnson, deceased,
and the daughter of Christopher
Bush. one Of the early residents of
Elizabethtown. She was an aunt OF
Attorney S. II. Bush and Christy
Bush, who are now living in Eliza
bethtOwn. and is described as "a
woman of thrift and energy, fair,
straight, and kindhearted moth
erly Christian" She did much to in
fluence and develope the character
OF the boy who was yet to save the
Nation from disunion.
Abraham Lincoln made one visit
back home. 1t was in the early
spring OF 1S41, when he spent two
or three months with his old friend
Joshua Speed, near Springfield.
His father, Thomas Licoln, was
able to give bond required of him
by the laws of Kentucky for his
marriage, was able at the age OF 25
to buy 23S acres of land and to pay
cash for it. and to provide a four
horse wagon to take his second wife
from Elizabethtown back to Indiana
so he was not altogether the thrift
less and worthless character that
the malingers of his distinguished
son have sought to make him.

LINCOLN
AND ELIZABETHTOwN
by Clarence Il. Bunnell,
Principle BarbourviIle Business
School

by Clarence ~. Bunnell,
Principle Barbourville Business
School
The boyhood Of Abraham Lincoln
is more slosely identified with Eliz-
abethtown than with any other place
in Kentucky, except possibly his
birthplace IL was there that sever
al years of his childhood were spent
and It was there that the dust Of his
only brother, and of both his mater
nal grandparents, lies in unmarked
and forgotten graves. II was there
that his father, Thomas Lincoln,
spent much of his young manhood;
and there that his mother, Nancy
Hanks, spent a number Of her grl-
hood years. II was there also that
Thomas Lincoln started in life;
there that he made his first pur-
chase of land; there that he met his
early reverses and became involved
in litigations; there that he first met
Nancy Hanks and brought her to
his log cabin home after his mar
riage; there that little Abe's only
brother was born, died and buried;
and there that Thomas Lincoln re-
turned after the death of Nancy
Hanks. to wed his second wife, to
whom Abraham Lincoln owed so
much of his early life's training and
the shaping of his manhood.
The genealogy of Abraham Lin
soln has been much befogged AMI
clouded and even slandered by his
enemies; but recent Investigations
have cleai ed up the story. Among
those who were prosecuted in Eng
land and came to America to es-
tabish colonies where they might
worship God and rear their children
according to the dictates of their
own conscience, were the Lincolns.
Some of them helped to found the
colony OF bingham, in Massachu-
sets. Among these was one Samuel
Lincoln. a descendent of whom, in
the sixth generation, was Abraham
Lincoln, whose grandfather was al
so named Abraham, and who was
the grandfather of President Abra-
ham Lincoln. This Abraham Lin
coin married Mary Shipley of North
Carolina, and having come to Ken
lucky in 1891, or 50, and became
the owner OF considerable tracts OF
land, was a year or two later, while
laboring to open farm in the for
est, shot and killed by a lurking In
dian, in the presence of his three
sons, Mordecai, Joseph and Thomas.
Thomas Lincoln was then but six
years of age, and by well aimed
rife in the hands of his brother was
spared to become the fatle: Of one
of Americas s greatest s)ns.
Mordecai Lincoln settled in the
town of Leitchfield, Grayson Coun-
ty, Kentucky, where ne wai the vii

where the old house still stands in

brought in ejectment against Tho
mas Lincoln in the Hardin Circuit
Court on January 1. 1915, and re-
suited in his returning to Elizabeth
town whee he lived in a little log
house on Race Street, standing on
the spot now occupied by Keith's
Marble Works He had previously
been sued in 1908, also in the Har-
din Circuit Court by Denton Geogh..
egan, a well known resident of Har-
din County, for alleged damages in
failing to hew properly logs for the
building of a saw mill The case
was settled out OF court. The re-
cords OF these suits are still on file
in the Circuit Clerks Office in Eliz-
abethtown.
After returning to Elizabethtown
another son, Thomas, was born and
died there.
Abraham Lincoln was remember
ed by some of the older residents of
ElizabethtOwn as a little boy with
childish grey eyes, an ugly face and
angular, awkward features Samuel
Haycraft. for many years Clerk of
the County and Circuit Courts. and
who wrote a history of Elizabeth
town in the early 70's. says that he
often saw little Abe sitting on q nail
keg in Whitaker's store. He relates
that one day Thomas Lincoln and
hte boy came into his office; that
the boy came up close to him at his
desk and said, "Is that what you
call writing He said that he had
never seen anybody write before.
Mr.. Haycraft became interested in
the boy and took him out, bought
him a hat and the first pair of shoes
that he ever had in his life. Abra-
ham Lincoln also remembered Eliz-
abethtown. AS boy he wandered
up and down Valley Creek and gath
cred spicewood to make a fra
GRANGE and a brighter fire-light at
night. In manhood he used to tell
the touching story of his mother
taking her two little children. him

which he lived. Thomas Lincoln
came to Hardin County md learned
the trade OF a cooper. which he
piled at Elizabethtown. At the age
of twenty-five years he purchased OF
John Tom Slater Of Green County,
tract of 2SS acres Of land on Mill
Greek. in Hardin County, for which
he paid one hundred and eighteen
pounds sterling in cash.
One day a fair, country girl, a
sweet singer and an adept at spin
ming fax, came from near Spring.
field to visit her old friends at Eliz-
abethtown, the home of her girl
hood. Here Thomas Lincoln met
her and the acquaintance formed at
Elizabethtown ripened into romance
That girl was Nancy Hanks. A
lineal descendent of Thomas Hanks,
soldier under Cromwell she had
no mean parentage. Her more re-
mote ancestors had received the
bury" for services rendered i'm de-
feating the Danes. Benjamin Hanks
a grandson Of Thomas Hanks, came
to America in 1899. Joseph Hanks,
grandson OF Benjamin Hanks, and
the father of Nancy Hanks, follow
ing a tide OF immigration headed
by Daniel Boone, came thru Cum
berland Gap and Barbourville with
his "eight children" horses, herds
of cattle and household goods" and
settled on a tract OF $50 acres in
Hardin County near Elizabethtown.
Among these eight children was
little Nancy. then five years of age.
Four years later Joseph Hanks died.
Ony a few months after his death
the mother died also, and little or
phaned Nancy, then nine years old,
was taken from Hardin County to
the home OF Mrs. Richard Berry,
her mothers sister, near Springfield
Washington County, and there grew
to young womanhood in the little
cabin where she later plighted the
marriage VOWS with the father Of
the President.
Soon after meeting Nancy Hanks
at Elizabethtown, Thomas Lincoln
went "Out west" to Indiana; but he
kept up correspondence with the
Kentucky girl and soon returned to
marry her. In the rude log house
near Springfield, on June ~, 1906,
the Rev. Jesse Head united them in
matrimony. in the presence of DR..
Christopher Columbus Graham, VIM
Hardesty. James Thompson,Sr, and
other substantial citizens. DR.. Gra-
ham was the father-in-law OF Gov.
Bramlette and the renowned Joe
Blackburn. He said of Nancy Hanks
81 know Nancy Hanks TO have been
virtuous, respectable and of good
parentage," and writing Of Abraham
Lincoln said, His father and his
mother were as good country folk
as we then had in Kentucky"
Their first child was a daughter,
Sarah. They moved to Elizabeth
town, and later to the little farm in
what is now LaRue County, where
Abraham was born on February II,
1909. On this farm they were ten
