Abraham Lincoln Trial Re-Enactment. The case presented
will be one of the cases A. Lincoln tried in Mt. Pulaski when he
was riding the 8th Judicial Circuit. Covering 420 miles in his
circuit, Lincoln often boarded at the Pulaski House. This
particular case, called the "Cast Iron Tombstone Trial",
involves the strange case between Henry K. Flinchbaugh of
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and Reuben Miller from Chicago.
They owned the patent rights for a cast iron tombstone. These
tombstones still exist in several cemeteries around Logan
County. The rights were apparently sold to Nathaniel M.
Whitaker of Mt. Pulaski. This case was tried in 1854. The
presiding judge was David Davis of McLean County, who was later
appointed to the Supreme Court by President Abraham Lincoln in
1862. The premier production will be presented in the Mt.
Pulaski Courthouse. The dramatization will be at 7:30 p.m,
Friday September 8th. Other productions will be presented on
Saturday, September 9th at 11:00 am and again at 4:00 p.m, both
at the courthouse. following the parade. The cast will be in
period costumes. Donations will be accepted at the entrance of
