Description:Excerpt from Lincoln Birthday Service: Address On March 1, 1830, when Abraham Lincoln was just twenty-one years of age, he, with his father and fam ily, moved to Illinois; so that while Mr. Lincoln was not born in Illinois, he was a citizen of the State dur ing all the years of his manhood. The family settled about ten miles west of Decatur, and here Lincoln helped to clear the ground for a new cabin and fenced the clearing with walnut rails which he helped to split. Some of the rails, perhaps you will remember, were brought into the Decatur convention of 1860, when Mr. Lincoln's name was before the country - not be fore the State Convention - as a probable candidate for the Presidency, and these rails are now historic. When Mr. Lincoln was nineteen he made a trip to New Orleans in a at boat for Mr. Gentry, his em ployer, to sell goods. When he was about twenty - two he made another trip, this time in the service of his friend, Denton Offutt. It was on this second trip that he saw a young negro girl offered for sale on the block. He said to his young men associates that if he ever had a chance he would hit that evil - meaning slavery - and hit it hard. The story is also related of this trip that he visited an old voodoo woman in New Orleans, and that she told him that he would one day set the negroes free. Perhaps he had a feeling at that time that he would some day be a great man. I think every right minded American boy has thatidea and that hope. I take too long over these simple days of poverty and toil and must hasten on to speak of the days which made his life the history of the nation. He settled at New Salem on the Sangamon river, near the present town of Petersburg, Illinois. His life was that of the younger men of the back woods.
