RE: Who is this person?
No googling please.
Historians feel this is a sketch of a cabin where someone who has been discussed on this forum lived. What is the person's name? ![[Image: cabinsketch.jpeg]](http://rogerjnorton.com/cabinsketch.jpeg) |

RE: Who is this person?
Roger,
I suspect I am overthinking this one. Could it be Abraham? Best Rob Abraham Lincoln in the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Who is this person?
Both of your answers are on the right track, Rob, but you do not have the right person.

RE: Who is this person?
Nope, not Mentor Graham, Michael. It was not someone from Sangamon County.

RE: Who is this person?
Thanks Roger, do you have any info on the sketch ( source, artist, date) ?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Who is this person?
I do not, Gene. The image (labeled) was in some old files I have but without information on the artist, etc. I will see if I can find something.
Her Elizabethtown cabin has been recreated and is open to the public. https://www.touretown.com/listing/sarah-...cabin/153/ |

RE: Who is this person?
No, Roger but I see why you say that.
Although not a photo it is almost as good as. If you can guess why the man is pointing... it would assist. “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |
