MAN NAMED
BY LINCOLN
DIES HERE
(From Saturdays Daily

Abrahama Lincoln Haskins, well
known Lyons resident, passed
away at his home this morning
about eleven o'clock, aged So
years, 5 months, and 8 days. Mr..
Haskins was one of the three Has
kins brothers, who were triplets
born in South Starchboro, Yer
mont, and named by Abraham
Lincoln less than a year before
the death of the martyred presi-
dent. The advent Of three sons in
to the home was so great an event
that it was decided to write to
the president in order that he
might have the honor of naming
the three boys. The family still has
the letter which the president
sent, naming the children Abra-
ham Lincoln, Gideon Wells, and
Simeon Cameron. 1t is seldom
that triplets live to attain the age
which the Haskins have. Gideon
died in February, 1919, at the age
of 81 years, and the brother Simeon
is the sole survivor. He resides
in Lyons, which place has been the
Haskins brothers home for many
years.
Abraham Haskins was married to
Mary Graves, Dec. "a, 1884. To
them were born six children, two
boys and four girls. All of these
together with the widow, survive
Claude and Roy, Mrs. Robert
Braun, Mrs. Alfred Bayer, Miss
Myrtle, and Miss Lucille. There
are also eight grandchildren.
Funeral services on Monday at
ternoon at two o'clock at the home
and at two-thirty at the Lyons
church.

~ Soil Meets
Held InC County

Since June 1st, 1924, % township
soil improvement meetings have
been held in Sank County. An
opportunity has been given to ev-
cry Sank County farmer to be in
attendance at these meetings. No
doubt, it is possible that there are
great many farmers who did not
know about the meeting that was
held in the township in which they
live or were prevented from being
present for some unavoidable rea-
son.
Another opportunity will be given
all Sank County farmers to attend
Soil Improvement meetings, for
Griffith Richards, Soil Extension
Specialist from the University Of
Wisconsin is now making the plans
for % Township Soil Fertility
Schools. There will be one day
school in every Sank County Town
ship. These schools will probably
be held during the month OF No
vember and December, but the
dates when these meetings will be
held have not been set as yet. The
prediction is that these schools viii
be so well attended in the various
townships that the seating capacity
of the halls will be taxed to the
limit. The number of women who
came to the first series of meetings
was small but every farmer is urged
to bring his wife as well as his sons
and daughters to the Soil Fertility
Schools.

Car Crash On
Near Prairie

While driving north of Prairie
du Sac on the road to Baraboo,
Raymond Breunig, Lodi, met with
an accident which slightly in
iured him and which damaged the
car quite badly. His cousin, Gil
bert Breunig, Roxbury, was with
him.
According to Breunig. another
car was attempting to pass him,
but did not swing out far enough
and so caught the rear fender of
the Breunig car with such force
that it swung completely around
and tipped over in the ditch. Ray
mond was thrown through the
windshield receiving several cuts
and bruises. His cousin went
through the top but escaped with
no further injury than bad shak-
ing up.
The car was driven into Madi-
son by it's own power the follow
ing day and is being repaired
there. The driver of the other
