							On 
							Monday afternoon, Abraham Lincoln arrived home in 
							Lincoln where he took up permanent residence on the 
							lawn of the Logan County Courthouse. The 
							true-to-life bronze statue was delivered by the 
							artist and within an hour was anchored in its new 
							location on the southwest corner of the lawn. 
							Members of the statue committee were on hand to 
							celebrate and be the first to have their photo taken 
							with the new statue. LDN will have complete photo 
							coverage of this historic event in the Wednesday 
							edition.
