Lost Cow at 541 H Street

[RJNorton]

It was not only cows that got lost. Many thanks to Blaine for sending this newspaper clipping. He writes:

"Apparently even Abe Lincoln had problems with stray animals.

From: Sangamon Journal, April 2, 1836, page 3, column 7. That same day in the same issue of the newspaper Lincoln (still living in New Salem) was announcing his candidacy for state representative."
