A
'friend of Lincoln' comes
to Mount Pulaski open house
[OCT.
23, 2000]
Walking
back and forth across the wide plank floor, the small-town
storekeeper told the folks gathered there about his friend Abraham
Lincoln. He told them Lincoln was a man who came and sat in his
store to hear the news and tell stories that got everybody laughing.
He told them Lincoln was a president who always welcomed a visit
from his old hometown friends, even when he was worrying about the
way the war was going and grieving for the boys who were dying to
save the Union.
