Starting Monday, Walmart will be mandating the wearing of masks by employees and shoppers in all its stores across the country. According to information released by its corporate office, Walmart employees will be placed at the door prepared to turn away those who try to enter without a mask.

On Saturday, the community said good-bye to a good friend. Though relatively speaking, Toby Prange, aka Moses Pinkerton, had not been with us long; he made a lasting impact on all he met. Coming to Lincoln upon retirement with his wife Polly, he took an old building on the city square and turned it into a haven for those who wished to display their acts of self-expression through art.

FROM LDN ARCHIVES

Talented people have been working some magic on the former Lincoln Furniture store, turning it into an artist's den. Located next to the post office and across from the Logan County Courthouse, the building was built by Odd Fellows. The nearly 100-year-old structure is improving in looks and character. According to the sign, the public is invited to stop in and see the works of artist Moses Pinkerton on Saturday.

Published 02/24/2012

He was the driving force behind building an art community in Lincoln. He also was the driving force behind the 2019 attempt to break a world record of the most Abraham Lincoln's gathered at one time.

He was a regular at Flossie & Delzina's and enjoyed taking a seat outside where he visited with many who passed by.


And he was a talented artist in his own right.

 

 

On Saturday, a fond farewell to Moses Pinkerton included a one-man showing of his art. Walking through the display, one could easily see that his art was multi-faceted, just like the man.
