William Butler?

Sorry gentleman, neither is correct.

Next clue: He was instrumental in Lincoln's political development.

Mike - very cool avatar. Looks a bit like the Simpson's nuclear power plant director...

Sorry Eva, but it isn't Speed.

Think earlier in Lincoln's life.

Cassius Marcellus Clay?


RE: Who is this? - Rob Wick - 02-01-2020 06:41 PM

It's not Clay, Roger.

When Lincoln knew him, this gentleman was six years older.

William Jones?


RE: Who is this? - Rob Wick - 02-02-2020 08:41 AM

Jones is a good guess, but it isn't him.

This person has a school named after him.

Carl Schurz?


RE: Who is this? - Rob Wick - 02-02-2020 10:19 AM

Sorry, Roger, but it isn't Schurz.

Think local, not national.

The next clue: This person loaned something to Lincoln which made a major difference in his life.

John T. Stuart?


RE: Who is this? - Rob Wick - 02-02-2020 03:00 PM

Nope. It's not Stuart.

Final clue: Lincoln knew this man in Spencer County.
