HISTORIAN Mrs. Henry E. Pond FOEEWOEU

This descriptive booklet and catalog has been published by the State of Illinois for a twofold purpose; to acquaint visitors with the and its restoration, and to recognize those who so generously donated their cherished relics. The restoration of the village, together with the furnishing of the cabins, has been a task of great magnitude. Hundreds of articles were donated, collected, repaired, delivered and placed in position. The history concerning each relic has been carefully noted and recorded. Many articles have a definite history which establishes their authenticity. Others are easily recognized as being over one hundred years old. The articles received since this book went to press, will be acknowledged. Those discovering mistakes or omissions are asked to communicate with the historian, Mrs. Henry E. Pond, Petersburg, 111. Donors are asked to check the history regarding their articles and report errors. In instances where the history is lacking we urge the donors to make an effort to trace it and help us make this record complete. Where the address of the donor is omitted it shall be assumed to be Petersburg, 111. Articles printed in boldface type were actually used or sold at New Salem. Appreciation is due Mrs. Henry E. Pond and Mrs. George D. Warnsing for their painstaking work, covering many months, checking over each of the hundreds of articles so that this edition might be com- plete and accurate. There are museums throughout the which contain fine period rooms and exhibits. However, this is, without doubt, the finest and most comprehensive collection of Early and Pioneer relics ever assembled. Nowhere is the setting so complete and authentic. The , the only memorial of its kind ever erected in honor of a great man, will be a shrine for generations to come. At no other loca- tion will the spirit of Abraham Lincoln be so close and real.

NEW SALEM

In the fall of 1828, James Rutledge and John Camron erected homes on this hill. The following year they built a grist and saw mill on the , just below , laid out the town of New Salem and began to sell lots. The mill became so popular that the town grew rapidly and flourished for several years, although it never included more than one hundred inhabitants. With the founding and growth of Petersburg, two miles to the north and more accessibly located, its decline began. When the seat of the new County of Menard was located at Petersburg in 1839, New Salem quickly passed out of existence. Abraham Lincoln resided at New Salem from the sum- mer of 1831 until the spring of 1837, supporting himself successively as clerk and mill-hand, soldier in the War, store keeper, postmaster and deputy surveyor. In 1832 he entered politics. Although defeated in his first campaign for the , he was elected a member of the House of Representatives in 1834 and again in 1836. Throughout his residence at New Salem, Lincoln strove to perfect his education, studying grammar, mathematics, and finally law. Upon his admission to the Bar in March, 1837, he sought greater opportunities than New Salem offered, and therefore removed to Springfield. THE RESTORATION

The restoration of New Salem, Abraham Lincoln's home from 1831 to 1837, has been under consideration for the past forty years. The first active step was taken in 1906, when the citizens of Petersburg en- gaged the interest of William Kandolph Hearst, who was lecturing at the Old Salem Chautauqua in Petersburg. Mr. Hearst at that time purchased the site and conveyed it in trust to the Chautauqua associa- tion. Later in 1917, the Old Salem Lincoln League was formed at Petersburg, to carry on research work and keep alive the interest already aroused. The Chautauqua Association, with Mr. Hearst's consent, con- veyed the site to the State of Illinois, to be used as a State Park, and in 1918 the League, with funds raised by popular subscription, erected several cabins on original sites, built a road, marked other cabin sites and in celebration of the occasion, gave a pageant depicting scenes of pioneer days. During the following years the public interest in the Park in- creased, and visitors from all parts of the United States came annually to visit the old town site. Finally the movement to restore the town gained such momentum, that in 1931 the 57th General Assembly passed a bill appropriating $50,000 to the Department of Public Works and Buildings, H. H. Cleaveland, Director, for "Permanent Improvements" at New Salem State Park. In anticipation of the passage of this Bill, the Division of Architecture and Engineering had already begun the research work. During the following two years every known source throwing light on the project was examined and investigated. The BiU was approved by Governor Emmerson July 2, 1931, and the following year July 16, he signed the Requisition. During the foUovidng months the information was assembled, checked and analyzed, plans and specifications were drawn and advertisements for proposals were published October 21, 1932. contract for the construction of twelve cabins^ was awarded to English Brothers, general contractors of Champaign, Illinois, November 4, 1932; a few days later ground was broken and on No- vember 17, the corner stone, located in the foundation of the Berry- Lincoln Store, Avas laid by Governor Louis L. Emmerson.^ In 1936, the Rutledge Tavern was let by contract to E. E. Jones, of Springfield. In the same year the Trent Brothers' Eesidenee and the Isaac Gulihur Eesidenee were built by CCC labor with materials being furnished jointly by the State of Illinois and Federal funds. In 1936 the Isaac Burner Eesidenee and the Onstot-Cooper Shop and all the outbuildings, , service buildings, etc.. were completed by CCC labor.

* The 12 cabins first restored were : Henry Onstot's Residence, Miller & Kelso's Residence, Robert Johnson's Residence, Martin Waddell's Residence, Dr. Francis Regnier's Residence and Office, Peter Lukins' Residence, Samuel Hill's Residence, Dr. John Allen's Residence, Hill-McNamar Store, Berry-Lincoln Store, Denton Offuts' Store, Clary's Grocery. 'Reprinted from "Record of the Restoration of New Salem" by Joseph F. Booton.

2 The Saw and Grist Mill, Millers' Blacksmith Shop and Rowan Hemdon's Eesidence were built by the and the Civilian Conservation Corps. New Salem, as it now stands with its numerous outbuildings, smoke houses, stables, com cribs, fences, gardens and other appurtenances which have been completed in the past several years, is fast approaching the aspect of the period of its greatest prosperity of 1835 and 1836. The completion of the industries, which are now in varying stages of construction, will give to the restored village the clamor, the noise and the din to reawaken the old town and make it really live again. The furniture and relics have been assembled by the Old Salem Lincoln League of Petersburg, All costs of transportation and repairs were paid from funds raised by the League. The work, in connection with the assembling of this collection, has been tremendous and only those who have had a first hand view of the activities can fully appreciate the time and effort involved. We are indeed grateful to the various Old Salem Lincoln League Committees who have worked so hard to bring about the final results. Great credit is due the Committee on "Collections of Cabin Fur- nishings," especially Mrs, G. D. Warnsing, chairman. Appreciation is due Mrs. Henry E, Pond who compiled the history of articles and items in the cabins printed in this Catalog. LIVING DESCENDANTS OF ORIGINAL OCCUPANTS OF CABINS NOW RESTORED

Henry Onstot, cooper, built a two-room house in the Spring of 1835, Later, needing additional space, he added the frame lean-to. This was Onstot's third home in the village. He built the first in the eastern por- tion of town about 1830, upon his arrival in New Salem. From 1833 to 1835 the Onstots lived at the Tavern, which they operated after the Eutledges moved to Sandridge. In 1840 Onstot moved to Petersburg and re-erected his home and cooper shop on Main Street, where he lived and worked for many years. The large east room was the living quarters, eating room and kitchen. The two west rooms served as bed rooms.

14 ONSTOT'S COOPER SHOP

Henry Onstot, cooper, erected his second shop while operating The Eutledge Tavern in 1834. A year later he built his residence to the west and lived there until 1840. Abraham Lincoln and Isaac Onstot, the eldest son, were friends and often studied together here by the light of the fire kindled by the cooper's shavings. In 1840 the shop was moved to Petersburg, where Onstot carried on his business for many years. Later weatherboarding was added on the exterior, larger windows were installed, and it was used as a residence until 1922, when it was purchased by the Old Salem Lincoln League, stripped of its weatherboarding and re-erected on this original site. It is now restored to its former exterior appearance. This industrial exhibit has been arranged by the State of Illinois, Division of Architecture and Engineering, with the cooperation and assistance of the Pioneer Cooperage Company, .

17 MILLER AND KELSO EESIDENCE

Joshua Miller, village blacksmith and wagonmaker, and Jack H. Kelso, fisherman, hunter and philosopher, erected a double house in 1832. They married sisters. Although both were industrious, their efforts were directed along different lines. MiUer was engaged in shoeing horses, ironing wagons and forging other ironwork, while Kelso was busy fishing, trapping and reading. Lincoln was attracted to Kelso and through him first became acquainted with the classics of literature. Both families left New Salem in 1838 or 1839. The Millers had two children and lived in the two east rooms. The Kelsos, having no children, lived in the single room on the west. The open space between served as the dining and sitting porch for both families during the warmer seasons.

32 MILLER'S BLACKSMITH SHOP

Joshua Miller, the village and community blacksmith, carried on a flourishing business here, shoeing horses, furnishing iron parts for wagons and farming implements and general metal work fur the neigh- borhood. The ring of his anvil was a familiar sound in New Salem and was heard for many hours each day. This restoration was made with great care with the assistance of the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago. Notice the tools, forge and hand bellows which have seen many years of service and are of the type originally used by Miller.

34 EGBERT JOHNSON'S RESIDENCE

Eobert Johnson, the wheelwright and furniture maker, built a log cabin, probably during the year 1831. The Johnsons, who had three children, were a family of modest means. They were devout members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and regularly attended the Eock Creek Camp meetings. It is probable that they abandoned their home about 1839, during the general exodus from New Salem, and left for a destination now un- known. The main room was the family living quarters. The lean-to was Johnson^s shop where he made wagon wheels, farming tools, spinning wheels and other furniture.

44 MAKTIN WADDELL'S RESIDENCE

Martin "Waddell, the hatter, built a two-room house about 1832. He made hats of fur and wool in the small south room and boiled his wool in the kettle, which is the original one, under the porch roof. The Waddell family left New Salem about 1838. Whether the house was abandoned or moved away is not known. The large room was the family living quarters. The small south room was a combination bed room and hatter's shop.

50 DR. FRANCIS REGNIER'S OFFICE

This one room log cabin was erected by Henry Sinco in 1831, and it is believed he used it as a store. During the following year Dr. Francis Eegnier, twenty-five years of age and son of a French physician, came to New Salem and bought the lot and cabin from Sinco. He lived here alone, using the cabin as a combined home and office, until August, 1834, when he married and moved to Clary's Grove with his bride, Sophia Ann Goldsmith. Eventually the doctor and his wife moved to Peters- burg where he established an extensive practice and took an active in- terest in civic affairs. The contents of this cabin were collected and assembled by descend- ants of Dr. Francis Eegnier.

Appreciation is due Ella E. Branson Craig, granddaughter, Virginia Eainey Eastman, great-granddaughter, both of Petersburg, 111., for as- suming the direct responsibility, and to Anne Eainey McCullough, grand- daughter, and Inez Eegnier McCullough, great-granddaughter, Spring- field, 111., for their assistance.

69 THE RESIDENCE AND SHOP OF PETER LUKINS AND ALEXANDER FERGUSON

Peter Lukins, a shoemaker, built his house some time during 1831 and lived there one year. In 1832 he entered a quarter-section of land two miles north of New Salem, settled there, and had it surveyed into lots and streets. This was the founding of Petersburg, which was named after him. Alexander Ferguson, another cobbler and shoemaker, arrived about the time Lukins left, moved into the house and took up Lukins' trade. About 1839, when the village was abandoned, he moved away. The main room was the family living quarters. The lean-to was used by the shoemakers as their shop.

SAMUEL HILL'S RESIDENCE

Samuel Hill, merchant, came to New Salem in 1829. In the spring of 1835 he built a four-room house, and on July 28, 1835, married Parthena Nance of Farmer's Point. This was the only full two-story house in the village. In 1839, Hill with his wife and baby moved to Petersburg. The main room on the first floor was the living quarters, eating room and kitchen, the small rear room served as a store room and general utility room, the upper front room was the bedroom and the small rear room was both a stair hall and closet.

84 DR. JOHN ALLEN'S RESIDENCE

Doctor John Allen came to New Salem in 1830. In 1833 he built a three room log residence and on March 27, 1834, married Mary E. Moore. Because of his extensive practice, he became one of New Salem's most prosperous citizens. He was a devout Presbyterian and established the village's first Sunday School and Temperance Society in his house. The Aliens moved to Petersburg in 1838. The following year a tenant whose name is now unknown lived in the cabin; the next two years the Henry Traylor family occupied it and finally, in 1842, it was abandoned. The main room was the living room, eating room and kitchen, the lean-to served as a bed room and the west room was used< by the doctor as an office. THE FRACKELTON COLLECTION Dr. Allen's second wife was Emily Chandler, sister of Dr. Charles Chandler, founder of Chandlerville. Dr. Chandler's daughter married David S. Frackelton of Petersburg. Because of this relationship Charles C. Frackelton, a son of David S. Frackelton, and Mr. and Mrs. W. Smoot Antle chose the Dr. Allen cabin to house the Frackelton relics. David S. Frackelton, born in Ireland, Feb. 14, 1827, came to America in 1843 with his brother Robert. David clerked in the store of W. M. Cowgill in 1844-45, his salary being $75.00 per year including board. From 1846 to 1857 David operated the store with his brother Robert under the name of W. M. Cowgill and Company. In 1865 the brothers organized a bank in Peters- burg. Appreciation is due Mrs. W. Smoot Antle, niece-in-law of C. C. Frackelton, for her work in collecting and assembling the contents of this cabin.

97 —7 HILL-McNAMAR STORE

Samuel Hill erected New Salem's first store in 1829. He con- ducted the enterprise with John McNamar (who at that time assumed the name of McNeil) until 1831, but from that time on he operated the store alone. In 1839 he moved to Petersburg. Hill was appointed Postmaster on Day, 1829, consequently this became New Salem's first post oflfice. Later, Abraham Lincoln served the latter por- tion of his postmaster-ship here, while clerking for Hill. This was the village's only store after the failures of Offutt, Trent Brothers and Berry & Lincoln, Its stock was very complete and was one of Hill's several prosperous enterprises.

BERRY-LINCOLN STORE

George Warburton, in 1830, erected New Salem's only sheathed structure. Later the Chrisman Brothers and Keuben Eadford also operated stores here. In January, 1833, Wm. F. Berry and Abraham Lincoln moved here from their first store, located just west of Ferguson's residence. Lincoln served a portion of his postmaster-ship in this building. During the early summer of 1833 Lincoln sold his interest to Berry, who later sold the enterprise to the Trent Brothers. The Trents left the country and Berry resumed the business until he died in 1835. The large room was the store proper, while the rear lean-to served as a store room and, for a time, as Lincoln's bed room.

132 DENTON OFFUT'S STOEE

Denton Offut secured a license on July 8, 1831, to operate a retail store in New Salem. With the assistance of Abraham Lincoln he erected a log store building the following month. After its completion Lincoln waa employed as a clerk. He slept in the rear room and boarded with the Eowan Herndon family who lived a short distance to the southwest. Later Offut rented the mill and employed William Green to assist Lin- coln with the details of both enterprises. This famous little store operated for the short period of eight months and closed its door in April, 1832, when Offut fled the country, leaving his creditors unpaid. Whether it was abandoned or moved away is not known.

126 CLARY'S GROCERY

William Clary, brother of John Clary the first settler in Menard County and founder of Clarjr^s Grove five miles west of New Salem, built a "grocery'^ about 1830. This was the town saloon, and was operated as such until 1833, when Clary migrated to Texas in 1832 after selling out to Alexander Trent, who, with his brother, built a residence in the west end of town and ran the second Berry-Lincoln Store for a short period. The cock fights, wrestling matches, gander-pulling contests and horse races usually originated here. All of them took place in this neighborhood except the horse races, which were staged in the western portion of town.

127 THE KUTLEDGE TAVERN

John Camron entered the tract of land upon which New Salem was subsequently located July 29, 1828. Probably in the fall of 1828 he built the Tavern. As originally erected it contained the two large log rooms with the attic above. The two frame rooms on the south were added later either by Eutledge or another proprietor of the Tavern. James Eutledge moved with his family, early in 1833 to a farm at Sandridge. Nelson became the new owner and rented the Tavern to Henry Onstot who occupied it until 1835. Alley then occu- pied it for a year or so and then rented it to Michael Keltner. In 1837 Alley sold the land and cabin to Jacob Bale and from this time on it ceased to be the Tavern and later became known as the ''Bale House." The Bale family lived in the Tavern long after the rest of the town had disappeared. It was the first cabin to be erected and the last to succumb, falling to the ground about 1880. It is believed that the large east room was the combined kitchen, dining room and guest sitting room. The west room was the family sitting room and bed room and perhaps the occasional lady-guest w£is quartered there. The west lean-to room was the family bed room and the east lean-to was the summer kitchen and general storage room. The loft or half story served as a large bed room for the men guests and perhaps the Eutledge boys. When Lincoln boarded at the Tavern he slept in the loft.

THE CLARKE MEMORIAL

Articles listed as "Donated by the Clarke Family" are In the east room and form a collection which is dedicated to the memory of Charles James Fox Clarke and his wife Rachel Smith Clarke. These items came from the Clarke home, erected in 1839, and were placed here by Mr. Charles R. Clarke, son; Minnie Clarke Burkholder (Mrs. John Burkholder), daughter; and Mary Burkholder Eades, Helen Clarke Boule and Hubert Clarke, grandchildren. C. J. F. Clarke came to New Salem during the winter of 1833-34 and lived with Abraham Lincoln at the Rutledge Tavern where they slept in the loft. He purchased a homestead located a short distance from New Salem. In 1839 he married Rachel Smith and erected his home which still stands. He farmed his land, became a cobbler, then a carpenter and finally a cabinet maker. Most of the furniture of this collection was made by Clarke with his own hands. Later in life he served as county commissioner and, for eight years, as county judge. In 1870 he died in the same house he I erected in 1839. This collection remained in the Clarke home until 1933 when it was brought to New Salem.

144 TRENT BROTHERS RESIDENCE

The Trent brothers erected their cabin probably in 1831 or 1832. They lived together with their families and for a time operated the Berry-Lincoln Store. Alexander Trent served in Lincoln's Company of the 4th Eegiment of Mounted Volunteers in the Black Hawk War in 1832. It is not known when they left New Salem, but Alexander made his home in Petersburg during the 18408. The excavations for this cabin disclosed all the original stone piers in place and was the most complete foundation uncovered. The large room on the north and east was used for cooking, eating and a sitting room. The south and the west rooms were used as bed rooms.

Appreciation is due Mr. and Mrs. Clement J. Lumpkin, Car- linville, Illinois, who have donated all the furnishings in the Trent Brothers Cabin. Mrs. Lumpkin is to be commended for her untiring work in assembling and placing the articles in this cabin.

The items marked donated by Mrs. Clement J. Lumpkin have the following history: Originally owned by Nathaniel Harper Pegram, born in Petersburg, Virginia in 1807, and his wife Amanda Elizabeth King, they were married Sept. 30, 1838 at Natchez, Miss., and came by covered wagon to Illinois in 1839, where they settled in Greene County. Their son Alvin Pegram married Almeda DeKalb Cook of Athens, Alabama. The donor, Elizabeth Pegram, daughter of Alvin, married Clement J. Lumpkin of Carlinville.

The items marked donated by Mr. Clement J. Lumpkin have the following history: Originally owned by John Lumpkin bom Dec. 28, 1808 in King and Queen County, Virginia. His family migrated to Ken- tucky and on Dec. 4, 1834 he married Emily Ann Rafferty. John and his young wife set out for the of Illinois by boat down the Ohio and up the to St. Louis. Here they embarked by ox cart to a point ten miles west of Carlin- ville, where there were only two or three other settlers, they entered land and built a log cabin. John walked ten miles through a path in the prairie grass to lay brick for the first Court House in the new county seat of Macoupin. Their only son, James William, married Elzina Bates, a native of Jefferson County, Tenn. James William was one of the Publishers of the Macoupin County Enquirer for 17 years. Mr. and Mrs. James W. Lumpkin had two children, Mrs. Mattie E. Stirman of Springfield and the donor, Clement John Lumpkin of Carlinville. Clement J. was editor and publisher of the Ma- coupin County Enquirer for 49 years. The furniture and other articles were used by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Lumpkin in their Log Cabin home.

150 ISAAC GULIHUE'S RESIDENCE

Isaac Gulihur erected his house on the south side of Main Street probably in 1832 or 1833. He married the daughter of Isaac Burner, his neighbor. He served in Lincoln's company of the 4th Regiment of Mounted Volunteers in the Black Hawk war in 1832. It is not known when he left New Salem. The excavations for this cabin disclosed much definite information. There were two separate cellars, with an outside entrance to the north one, a separate root cellar, and the well. The fireplace foundation was also uncovered. Since the restoration was completed, information has come to light that the original cabin probably was of round logs.

Items listed as donated by Daisy Gillingham Ross, (Mrs. George W. Ross), were originally owned by her mother, Julia Russell Gillingham, (Mrs. Bainbridge Colby), both of Carroll- ton, 111. Great appreciation is due Mrs. Ross for her splendid co- operation in assembling and placing the articles, donated by her to the Guliher Cabin.

156 ISAAC BURNER RESIDENCE

Isaac Burner with his family and Isaac Gulihur are said to have come to New Salem, from Kentucky, in 1829 or 1830. The records show that on October 25, 1832 Isaac Burner purchased lots 2 and 3, south side of Main Street, 2nd plat, from John M. Camron and wife Polly for $10.00. This transaction in the amount of $10.00 indicates that the lots were not improved and since Burner was said to have settled in New Salem in 1829 or 1830 he apparently purchased these lots for speculation or other purposes. Daniel Green Burner, son of Isaac Burner, clerked in the Berry- Lincoln store and Lincoln is said to have lived with the Burners for several years, probably after 1832. The cabin site was originally chosen by the Old Salem Lincoln League from the evidence which they had gathered and lies on lot 4 south side of Main Street in the reconstructed survey of the town. Their decision was later verified by the finding of remnants of a cabin founda- tion. Information disclosed at the cabin site was meager and the avail- able facts concerning the cabin and family were few. Not having specific data pertaining to this cabin it was designed according to the general standards of the other New Salem cabins; however, all research in connection with this cabin is being continued. In 1835 the Burner family left New Salem and moved to the country about six miles southwest of Kjioxville, 111. The reconstructed Burner cabin contains two rooms, the front or north room being used as kitchen, dining, sitting and bed room. The south and smaller room is a bed room. There is a loft over the north room.

Appreciation is due Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Freed of Kewanee, 111., whose love of history and the State of Illinois has led them to donate the major portion of the articles listed in the Isaac Burner Residence.

159 EOWAN HERNDON'S RESIDENCE

Eowan Hemdon, cousin of William Hemdon, who was later the law partner of Abraham Lincoln and one of his biographers, built a residence on this lot, probably in 1831. He and his brother, James, erected and operated a store on the south side of Main Street, which later they sold to Berry and Lincoln in 1833. When Lincoln first came to New Salem to clerk for Denton Offut, he slept at the store and boarded here with the Eowan Hemdons. Eowan removed from New Salem in the fall of 1832 to Island Grove, after he had accidentally shot his wife. The one room was used as a combined living room, eating room, kitchen and bedroom. Appreciation is due Mrs. Olive Hallam Webb (Mrs. G. E.) for her gracious efforts in securing the articles to furnish the Hemdon cabin, which she has donated through the Peoria Chapter, Daughters of the American Eevolution, Peoria, 111. Mrs. Webb's grandfather, on one side, was Edward Feagans, a captain in the Eevolutionary War. She is also the great, great, grand- daughter of Leonard Bush, who was a cousin to Mary Bush Lincoln, the stepmother of Abraham Lincoln.

164 RUTLEDGE AND CAMRON SAW AND GRIST MILL

In the fall of 1838, John M. Camron and his uncle, James Eutledge, settled on the ridge which laten became the town of New Salem. Eutledge and Camron were millwrights by trade. Immediately after they entered the tract, they petitioned the Legislature for the right to dam the Sangamon Elver, which permission was granted. They built houses for their families in the fall and the following spring began the construction of the dam and the saw and grist mill. Pens werei built of logs weighted with rock and sunk in the river, and then filled to the top with "one thousand wagon loads" of stone. The site was thoroughly excavated and the restoration is on the exact spot of the original. All posts and timbers are in identical locations. The grist mill ground mostly corn and the saw mill made planks from logs. Denton Offut leased the mill in 1831 and Lincoln aided in its operation for a few months. Camron sold the mill to Jacob Bale in 1833 or 1833, who operated this mill for several years, then built a "second mill" in approximately the same location, but.at the shore line.

1. GAUGE LEVEL FOE SCOEING MILL STONES Donated by Albert Hart, Auburn, 111.

2. MILLSTONES Donated by Walter H. Oehmig of Paul Oehmig and Co., Chicago, 111. This pair of 3-foot diameter French Buhr Millstones were fabricated about 1896. They are now incorporated in the resto- ration of the Rutledge and Camron saw and grist mill. The original millstones are of granite and can be seen at the museum. The Oehmig millstones are the same diameter as the originals and are made of stone imported from France and commonly used by mills of the period.

165 CARDING MILL AND WOOL HOUSE

In the spring of 1835, Samuel Hill buUt the Carding Mill and Wool House. He advertised in the —May 9, 1835 issue of the Sangamon Journal as follows : '^ool Carding ^the subscriber respectfully informs his customers and the public generally that he will commence carding by the first of May next. The machines are nearly new and in first rate order, and I do not hesitate to say, the best work will be done. Just bring your wool in good order and there will be no mistake. New Salem, April 24, 1835, Samuel Hill.'' The mill was operated by Hardin Bale, who later purchased it from HiU. Presumably, it was operated until the general exodus from New Salem and then was removed by Hardin Bale to Petersburg and operated there. The power was furnished by two oxen treading the circular inclined wheel on the north side. The double carder typical of this period and vicinity was built by the Schofield Brothers in Byfield, Mass., in 1804. The idea and patterns were smuggled into America from England. TTncarded wool was stored in the attic. The excavations disclosed all the former post holes and machinery pits and the restoration occupies the identical original locations.

166 FIRST BERRY-LINCOLN STORE

James and Eowan Hemdon, brothers, and cousins of William Hemdon, who was later the law partner of Lincoln and one of his biographers, built this store building probably in the fall of 1831, and engaged in the mercantile business. James Hemdon, at that time a bachelor and boarding at the Eutledge Tavern, sold his interest to William Berry early in the summer of 1832, and later in the same year Eowan sold his interest to Abraham Lincoln, taking Lincoln's note in payment. About January, 1833, Berry and Lincoln purchased the store of Eeuben Eadford and moved across the street to the second Berry- Lincoln store. It is presumed that this store was then used as a residence for awhile. Since three stores have been restored and equipped, it was thought best to use this building as the Post Ofl&ce and house the exhibit show- ing in graphic form a record of the restoration of New Salem.
