Hint #2: It happened in 1860.

Grace Bedell wrote her letter suggesting that Lincoln grow a beard.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-11-2013 12:22 PM
Well done, Joe! Yes, that was the house in which Grace Bedell wrote her famous "beard" letter to Abraham Lincoln. Fred Trump wrote his Grace Bedell book in 1977, and the home was still standing at that time. Trump wrote that it was "one of the oldest in Westfield." I do not know if the home still stands today.

Thanks, Roger,
The 1860 clue helped a lot.
Joe
[attachment=147]This place was associated with an important event in Lincoln's pre-presidential life. What is it?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-11-2013 02:46 PM
Is it related to the Lincoln-Douglas Debates?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 06-11-2013 02:55 PM
Mentor Graham's house?

Yes, I believe you got it if you name it.

No, but that gives me an idea for one later on. Thanks.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-11-2013 03:10 PM
Possibly the Lincoln-Douglas Debate Museum in Charleston? Joe, the photo is pretty small on my screen, and my cataract-free eyes are just guessing. But that is what came to mind.
I have never been to that museum.
Nest guess: Maybe the Bryant Cottage in Bement?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-11-2013 03:54 PM
O. Browning's house in Quincy?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Joe Di Cola - 06-11-2013 04:11 PM
The picture is smaller than I thought it would be, and I apologize for that. Hint: it is where a meeting took place. Does that help? Hint 2: it is NOT in any of the 7 debate cities.
Roger, you got it! It is the Bryant Cottage in Bement, IL where the terms of the debates were set between AL and SD.
No prizes available on this one.

Who was this gentleman who played a large role during Lincoln's youth?

Rob,
Is it Josiah Crawford in his later years?
Joe
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 06-11-2013 08:09 PM
Sorry Joe, but that's not it.

My next choice is Azel Dorsey who lived to an old age and died in 1858. He is the only one of Lincoln's teachers commemorated with a replica schoolhouse and also with a marker in Illinois to where he had re-located.
Joe
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 06-11-2013 08:29 PM
Joe,
It's not Dorsey. Don't think Illinois.
