RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Laurie, I am not sure if you are referring to Lincoln. During his time in New Salem, Lincoln was a business partner of William F. Berry. Together they operated a store. On March 6, 1833, Berry and Lincoln were issued a tavern license (liquor license), but Berry alone signed the $300 bond for the license. He signed both his own and Lincoln's name. A local gent, Bowling Green, also signed the bond. The license was issued by the Sangamon County Commissioners and was good for one year. The license itself cost Berry and Lincoln $7. The liquor license allowed them to sell 1/2 pint of wine or French brandy for $.25. Also, they could sell 1/2 pint of rum, peach brandy, or Holland gin for $.1875.
