THE (X)TJRIER-J0TJItNAL7 LOUISTILLE, THURSDAY JUNE 2, 1892. ON BOTH SIDES.

Sons of Kentucky the Leaders of North and South, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis Born Within the State's Borders. Birthplace of Each President Fixed and Its Present Condition Described. Strange Connection In Boyhood of the Men Who Led the Irrepressible Conflict. LINCOLN'S LEGITIMACY. Kentucky was not yet a score of years old in Statehood when there sprang from its soil two men whom a strange destiny chos? to h-ad tlieir countrymen upon rides cf the tremendous struggle over the Union.

Abraham Lincoln was born or February 12, IbO'J, Jeilersou. Davis was torn unc 3, 1 SUd, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, about eight months earlier. Tliere is seme uncertainty as to the exact spot of Lincoln's birthplace, whether in what is now L.irue, but was then Hardin county, about three miles from Hodgen-vill-s, or at. a place near Bcechlau.i Mills in Washington county. Davis was born near the pis-went town cf Fairview-, on the line betwecu Christian and Todd counties.

Abraham Lincoln spent the first seven years of his life in Kentucky amid the most lowly and cheerless surroundings. It was a period of his life about which lie rarely spoke when ho had become man. lie seemed to find no pleasure in that starting point of memory, and doubtless the gloom that surrounded his early JEFFERSON DAVIS, childhood left permanent traces in hia strangely melancholy moods. His people wero shiftless and illiterate; his lifo was lonely and- utterly without refin.n,j influences, and his childhood wa drear and gloomy. It was small wonder that in after life Kentucky had few attractions for him.

Li coin's biographers have usually located his birthplace in Hardin (now Larue) county. The Lincoln biography published by Nicolay and Hay In the Century Magazine say that he was born in a small cabin up on the farm of his father, I homas L'n-coin, on the Big South Fork of Noiin about tlireo milt- Irom Uodsen-ville, in the preeent county of Larue. William H. lierndon, in his Life of Lincoln, says that he was born in Hardin county. That La la-en the generally accepted statement, and apptars to have been the impression of Mr.

Lincoln hiui-aeir. Li searching fur the record of the marriage of his parents, in order t-j remove the cloid of doubt that seemed to rest upon his legitimacy, Mr. Lincoln j-orched only 111 Jmnini county. Me that the manure uf ins parents, Thomas l.iuc lu aim ancy UanKs, had taken place in that county, and bis failure to lind tlie r.cord left upon his 1111 ud ro puintul uu iuipre-Mou that, he avoided as 111 ui.ii us i-nii)lM ail mention ot his uticestry. liuv the recorU ol the marriage wus uli-rwaril louud, thougii not until after Mr.

Lincoln death, at opr lug-held, tne county seat ot Washington county. It is tnought tint tue gr.at irement carried to tho grave with hiui the ignorance ot the trutu as to too uiHrri.ije ol tils parents. But while there is doubt as to Mr. Lincila'a there is none as to tlie wiiero his parents were war-rietl. 1 hat cereiuony was pertormid by ltev.

Jesse lieud the 12tn day ot June, leu, at the cabin of kiciiard Beiry, tne guardian ot 'ancy Hanks, lhe (estiruony of old rcsidecis ot tho neigh boruocd is te the eltect that Thomas and Lincoln continued to make their hnuie with Kichard Beiry In tho tamo log cabin for several years, and tliat th-ir removal to the farm purchased by Thomas Lincoln on Big Scuth Fork, ju Larue conntv, did not take place until after the birtn of their second child. Abraham Lincoln, in February, lsou. The cabin is still standing. It was photographed for the centur about six years ago. lhe picture accompanying this sketch is Irom photograph tiken recently, and shows tlie actual present condition of the wretched home.

The newer looking portion of tho house to the left was ad-led after the Lincoius left tlw place. The older part the riirht w-x all tliero was of it m-ben Abraham Lincoln's put-eat celebrated their 0h nuptials, and when, if local chronicles tnuy bo relied on. tlio -future lrvtideirt was born. The cabin near-what wt then called Iattlnrly's MJll.s now Beecli-land MjUs, oa th banks of Beech Fork, about seven miles from Springfield. It stands-on tho summit ot a little knoll, in a clump ot trees.

It was purchased suuio time ago by Majv D. v. Sanders, of Lou'sviile, irom lieuxy F. lJeed, with a view to its prrTvetion. it was occupied by Heet at the time the eetitnry rliolograph was taken, and was carried away piecemeal by relic-huniers, mnch of its dilapidated 1 pea ranee being dae to the irrei interest of this of vandal.

Mai. Sanders had a new roof put on it before the photosraph was taken, and has rut it in charge of a colored mun named Meshacb. 1'olin, who, with hi wito and nine or ten pickaninnies, takes great fride in the lact that he lives in tlw louse where was born the man who set the negroes free. The old rart cf tho bouse had but one room. The floor is worn with age and hard usage and the that form the walls are black with age.

The- logs were chinked with mud, which has hardened until lugs and mud make almost a solid wall. The belief that Abraham Lincoln was born in the. Berry cabin rests upon variety of testimony, most of which Ins been gathered tog-tlier and published in a little pamphlet by the Liit'-olii Memorial Company, ot Loufsvlllo, lrqm which the following is quojed Some Tears since, R.

As Lincoln himself told ono who urged hint to give some data- lor a sketch of his early life, th-; story bat The short and fimple annals the poor It wa the Illiteracy of his people, that left him in such painful doubt of his f-wnily record, and made him l.nth to alludo to the aub-ject, avoiding it whenever possible. Dhring the campaign 01 1 BOO there fprang op or wore revived, und-r th- ptimulus cf the hot political passion of: th times, many stories in the neighborhood of Lincoln's birtJipUe retl- cling upon hi-; origin.

Many of theoi are yet handed about by those who prefer to liolicvo evil, but thy? facts as to his parentage are considered fully' established.

TTw Kentucky life of Jefferson DjvU was in pleasant contrast to that of his great antagonist, aud the ommonwealth was tor him always with tlie uiost pleasant memories. The e-ict site of his birthplace, in what was then Christian and is naw I oxld county, is occupied by the Bethel Methodist church, of tair-Tiow.
