A Poor Farmer's Son Was
Born Today, on the 12th
of February, 1809
in a log hut west of the Alleghenies in LaRue
County, Kentucky.
His mother could read, but could not write
and his father could do neither.
Almost all of the names of the men of
Revolutionary times have passed out of the
memories 6f Americans except those of George
Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
Jefferson and John Hancock; but there is not a
language nor a people in any part of the world,
f.hat is not familiar with the name of
Abraham
and generations to come .will hold to his
memory.
As General Pershing and our Ambassador
to France and their associates memorialized the
birthday of Lafayette with the now historic
phrase,
"Lafayette, We
let us, as a nation, united with friendly nations,
take a stand at the grave of Lincoln today and
exclaim in the words of the old song, "We are
coming, Father Abraham, one hundred thou
sand strong," only altering the words to read,
"millions and millions strong," and say as
Senator Douglas said, "Lincoln, honestcst man
ever," we love thy memory and stand together
by thy grave today, unfalteringly to preserve
the Union for which thy life was given, thou
"kindly, earnest, brave, foreseeing man."
Signed
February 1L. 19'l.
