Illinois Recreates Old Town Where Lincoln’s Fame Was Born
SALEM, 111., Feb. 12.— Old Salem— the Salem of Abraham Lincoln’s early
hopes and dreams— is being rebuilt.
Building for building, the little town on the winding Sangamon river where
tragedy first met Lincoln and marked him for Its own, is being restored.
The old town site has been made Into a state park, and when all the work
of rebuilding is complete Salem will stand Just as It was whçn Lincoln left it,
every building and store, even every cowpath reproduced.
Old Salem will stand unique among the towns of the country— a monument
to a great man s past a little community of 1830 reincarnated after nearly 100
years.
Imposing establishments.
Ann Rutledge loved him.
They were seen together at the social functions
or the Illinois community. Word went around that they were engaged.
Drama Enters
But McNeil had a atory to tell, and he unfolded it to Ann. His name was not
McNeil nt nil. but John McNamar. His family was old and reqpectable in New
York, but his father had gone bankrupt.
Fired with the desire to restore the
family fortunes, the young man had come west to Salem.
Now things were improving. He had a little farm, and would go back and
bring the old folks to Salem. He would marry Ann upon his return.
Ann trusted him. though the wise folk of the village regarded his tale with
scorn.
Sho promised to wait.
McNamar left.
Week nfter week Ann waited, while sly rural humor and whispered conver­
sations bent upon her pride.
Week nfter week Bhe-went to the little postoffice. Abo Lincoln sorted the
Hers was never there.

W here Lincoln Kept Store
Many of the oM buildings still exist or already have been restored to their
original state. Members of the Old Salem-Lincoln League, working with pick and
shovel, have unearthed the foundations of many of the houses which fell away,
and these, too, are being built.
It was here that Lincoln ran a store with a man named Berry.
It was here that Lincoln's boat, struck a snag in the Sangamon river, the
accident changing the course of his life.
Here he ahw and loved and lost the beautiful Ann ' Rutledge, the inn-keepers
daughter.
.Here Lincoln worked in the store he partly owned, and here he earned the
name of “ Honest Abe.’*'
Here Lincoln walked three miles after a day of toil at the store, that he might
repay a customer who had -been the victim of a mistake in weight.
Here Lincoln became a surveyor and was appointed postmaster in 1833.
Here he bought a barrel of books from a covered wagon emigrant, and found
therein a treasured Blackstone which he studied by the firelight.

Lincoln's love, slow growing, became bolder,
Ardently hs pressed his
courtship. Steddlly Ann clung to her pledge.
But through their dally associations at the tavern where Lincoln roomed,
Ann's love for “ Honest Abe” grew. Her friends encouraged it. They cast fresh
doubts on the story of McNamar. Ann decided she would write to McNamar, and
ask him to free her from her pledge.
She wrote, but no word came back. She worried, waited, wondered.
She

Longing to give herself to Lincoln, yet she was held by the firm bond of
that promise to her albsent lover.
His Political Start
Death Releases Her
Here Lincoln got his political start in life, running for the legislature and
belnd elected.
Here Lincoln whipped the Clary gang Into submission, and from Salem he
went as a captain in the Black Hawk war.
Here sorrow wrecked his heart, and a'.most destroyed one of the greatest
minds of the ages.
Lincoln came to Salem about 1931. His boat struclt a snag at a bend In the
Sangamon. As a result of the delay, It Is related, Lincoln saw Ann Rutledge and
decided to stay in Salem for a while.
Salem had been founded a few years
before by Ann’s father, Jamee, thé tavernkeeper, and a man named James Cameron.
Ann was a school girl in M ints Graham’s school when Lincoln first met her.
The young man took, up his Job In Berry’s store and soon won respect among the
townsfolk for his honesty.
Ann blossomed Into womanhood at I I .
Lincoln then was in his twenties.
He was an admirer, although a bashful, awkward young man.

Then a stranger came to town, a man who called himself John McNeil.
McNeil had charming manners and became popular at once with the girls of the
town.
He prospered- in business, too, his store becoming one of Salem’s most
Finally she lay back in the arms of delirium. Raving, she called for Lincoln.
Honest Abe came.
He sat alone Vith her at the bedside in the crude little
tavern. The world never heard the words they spoilt.
Agony mnrked Lincoln's face when Ann became unconscious a few days
later. Then a few days more and she died— on August 39, 1996.
Lincoln became a man walking In a dream.
His mind became dark.
He
avoided the old haunts of his friends In Salem and took long walks along the
winding Sangamon.
Two months after Ann's death, John McNamar returned with hie widowed
mother and two brothers. The story he had told was true. He had been delayed
by Illness. But, In the year that he was away, how much poignant tragedy his
absence had wrought!
»
Lincoln left Salem seven ysars after he came, and the decline of the little
town set in about the same time. Its day of trading prosperity was brief.
Now the old scene» are being restored— the Rutledge Inn, the Lincoln
