SPRI.VO.FIRLD. 111.. Feb. 12.
(P) 'The Flea," so-called by Pres
ident Abraham Lincoln, because of
his ability to move quickly as a
py for the Union forces during the
Civil war, still lives.
He is Jason IT. Edgerly, 92-year-old
resident of lllue Island. 111.,
whose mow of anecdotes of the
Emancipator was added to the long
list recounted with the approach
each year of tho anniversary of
Lincoln's birth. Today marks the
ono hundred nnd twenty -second
anniversary.
It was after ho had stolen the
Willow Creek battle plans "from
under the nose of Robert K. Lee,"
Edgerly paid, that Lincoln gave
him the nicknamo of "The Flea."
See re t a iy of State Se wa rd had
doubted the authenticity of Lee's
signature on the- plan, so Lincoln
called Edgerly in for a conference.
"Old you ever try to put you
finger on a f lea?"'Llncoln i quot
ed as asking Sewird find lie
wasn't there. That's the way with
my man. lie got those plans and
immediately wasn't there.
When the Confederate general.
Early, started hus four-day attack
on the city of Washington, Edgerly
said he escorted Lincoln In an ex
amination of defenses. Lincoln
was curious, he Raid. He stood
boldly on the- fortifications, looking
out toward -the Confederate lines.
Cannon shot fell near him.
"Oct down from there. Mr. Lin
coln," Edgerly said he advised
"They have our range. Get down
and let me watch."
"Lincoln said something about
my life being as sweet to me as
his to him, but right then a minnie
ball hit between his feet.
"Get down, Mr. Lincoln," Edger
ly said he yelled and reached up
to help the -president.
"All right." Lincoln is quoted as
answering, "I will.
Discovery of the part that Ed
gerly played in Lincoln's career
and tho finding of documentary
evidence that Lincoln once served
on the circuit court bench In
Springfield as an acting Judge,
were the only new stories of Lin
coln's life that have been brought
to light during the past year, local
historian.! say.
Since Lincoln's denln Bs years
ago, some 2,000,000 persons have
journeyed to iSpringfleld, where he
is -buried, to pay tribute to his
memory.
