We're closer to Lincoln than you might think

[Linda Anderson]

I was amazed to learn from someone that they know a person whose father voted for Lincoln! That person is over 100 years old now. It's possible as the latest year their father would have had to be born to be able to vote on Nov. 8, 1864 is 1843.

I wonder if that person had heard stories about Lincoln from their father or mother. I also wonder how many other people are still living whose father or someone they knew also voted for Lincoln.
