1860 Census and Phillip Dinkell

[RJNorton]

Susan is correct. Lincoln was living there. Speed's store was located at the corner of Fifth and Washington Streets, but I do not have the address. Lincoln and Herndon moved the location of their law office several times, and their last office (beginning in 1856) was in this same building.

If you crossed Washington after walking by Speed's store you would come to the Melvin Drug Store (northwest corner of Fifth and Washington). Lincoln became a friend of Melvin's.
