RE: Where did the Lincolns live after the Globe Tavern?
Thanks, Scott.
I decided to check Burlingame's Abraham Lincoln: A Life. Burlingame's footnote for the move to the small home on Fourth Street reads as follows: "George H. Helmle cited in Jacob C. Thompson to Albert J. Beveridge, Springfield, 19 May 1925, Beveridge Papers, Library of Congress, and John E. Vaughn, “A Handful o’ Sorts,” Illinois State Journal (Springfield), 12 November 1927. W. A. Evans asserted that the Lincolns moved into a house on Monroe Street. Evans, Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, 130. Evans provides a picture of that dwelling (ibid., opposite p.138)." Once again the year 1925 is mentioned. Possibly we could find our answer if anyone has access to either the Beveridge Papers or John E. Vaughn's "A Handful o' Sorts." |
