BOV HOOD OF A B HAH AM
LINCOLN.
by
Verna Wills.
Abraham Lincoln was born
Feb. 12, 1800.
His father was an easy going
in.m and dis mother a cheerless
ambitious woman. She taught her
son and husband to read and
write.
When Abe was seven years
old his parents and himself moved
from Kentucky to south Indiana.;
The road was hard and they |
would sometimes have to cut a I
road way. Abe knew how to use
an axe, so he could heip his father
to build a cabin.
I
There were few schools in
that time. There were no desks
and the windows were eoverd
i
With oil paper. The school master
only knew a little. Lincoln spent
twelve months in school.
Abraham Lincoln read every .
book he heard of. It' iie found a
message he would write it on
board, and then commit it to;
memory. He would say it over*
and over lo hi in self. It is no
wonder he spoke and wrote good
English when he was a man.
As Abe grew bigger he be j
came strong. His axe and rifle,
made him big muscles of steel, j
He was one ol the best wrestlers!
and runners in that part of the !
c untry.
When Lincoln was the age of
twenty, his father decided to
move to Illinois.
