Lincoln was a surveyor, lawyer and politician in and around Logan
County and left much documented information, some of which has

over the years. Elkhart's internationally known cattle baron, John
Dean Gillett, was a friend of Mr. Lincoln's, and their relationship
will also be discussed. A revealing PowerPoint presentation will
accompany the talk.
