On that day in 1830 the Thomas Lincoln family caravan crossed the Wabash river from Vincennes, Ind., to become permanent residents of Illinois. There were twelve members in the immigrant party in addition to Abraham Lincoln. They were his father and stepmother, Sarah Bush Lin­ coln; her son, John D. John­ ston; her two daughters and their husbands, Sarah E. (Mrs. Dennis Hanks) and Matilda (Mrs. Squire Hall); four Hanks children; and the Halls' son. All of their belongings were loaded on three wagons, one drawn by two teams of horses and the others by two yoke of oxen each - Abraham drove one of the ox- drawn wagons. They made their way northwest and on March 15 settled at a site on the north bank of the Sangamon river ten miles southwest of Decatur (the location is now Lincoln Trail Homestead State park). Abraham remained with the family for the next year and helped to build the log cabin, barn and smokehouse and fence the land. In March, 1831, however, he left to begin his own career and by mid­ summer was in New Salem. At that time tradition said that a son should remain to help the family until he was 21 years old- Lincoln was 22. Thus, while March 6 was an important date in Illinois history, a number of other memorable events in Lincoln's life took place in the month. While he was in Springfield he spent most of his March days at his law practice - particularly in the Sangamon County Circuit court. On March 22, 1838, Lincoln was one of 101 Springfield citizens who signed a note for $16,666.67 guaranteeing one- third of the $50,000 the city had pledged toward construction of the Capitol (now the Old State Capitol and administered by the Illinois State Historical Library-Society as a Lincoln- period museum). In March, 1860, he made a speaking tour of New York and a number of New England cities. On March 17, soon after his return home, Lincoln was one of several friends who visited Gov. William H. Bissell the day before Bissell died. The first governor of the state to die in TRY ON YOUR SMIMSUIT ? ? DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? NOW IS THE TIME TO GET INTO SHAPE SPECIAL 8 WEEK EXERCISE CLASS.

His funeral was held from the Governor's Mansion where he had died. Lincoln's two inaugurations as President were held March 4 (1961 and 1865) and his final March in the White House was the busiest of the five he spent there. The Civil War was drawing to a close and he decided to visit the battle front near Richmond. He left Washington March 23, 1865, aboard the "River Queen" and did not return until April 5 - just over a week before he was assassinated. Some other noteworthy events in Illinois history also took place in March. The act making Springfield the state capital was passed by the General Assembly March 3, 1837, and the following day it approved a city charter for Chicago. The state's second constitution was ratified by the voters March 5, 1848. The first gasoline tax law was passed by the legislature March 25, 1929. A mine explosion at Centralia March 25, 1947, killed 111 men. CROSSWORD By A. C.
