Dunham Wright
And Mr. Lincoln
Second Cousins
l-'rom a vast fund of experience,
gathered through a lifetime cov
ering four score years and five,
there Is nothing which stands out
more prominently, nor which gives
greater pride to the Hon. Dunham
Wright, of Medical Springs, than
the fact of his relationship with
A b r a h a m Lincoln. 1) u n h a m
Wright's grandmother and Abra
ham Lincoln's mother. Nancy
Hanks, were own sisters. which
makes the two men second cous
ins. Although Mr. Wright never
actually saw the honored pre.-hleut.
himself, yet his parents ami grand
parents were so closely associated
with him. that Mr. Wright has re
ceived from them, by direct word
of iiMinili much information that
has been verv valuable and which

There ale a numbcY of uncon
nected instances which stand out
very prominently in Mr. Wright's
memory. Perhaps none of I hese
is more interesting than t he fact
that for many years .Mr. Wright
had In his possession the Hible,
which, w hen a boy Lincoln, had
borrowed and kept until he had
thoroughly mastered its contents,
and to which he so often t urned
for help or for quotation in the
years w h-u responsibilities, ever
Increasingly heavy rested upon
him. The Hible was the property
of Mj Wright s grandfather who
had loaned it to Abe Lincoln dur
ing the early period of his life
when his ravenous appetite for
books and reading was not satis
fied until he had read everything
available. After Lincoln had read
the book, it was returned to his
' uncle, -Mr. Wright's grandfather.
As a boy the history of the Hook
was related time and time again
to him. as he was his grandfather s
constant companion for many
years. When the division of the
' grandfather's possessions was
made, M r. Wright asked for the
old lilble and his request was
granted. What a priceless treasure
it wits to him! 'then how heart

than that of the late Preddcnl

his visit to this locality Just before

years of .'i!.'e. It was at that lime,
