Notes

Family story:
From Margaretta and other family members "When he was young his father, Joseph, was the brick mason on a remodel job at the Springfield home of Abraham Lincoln. My grandfather (M.E. Ford) took his lunch pail to him at noon. One day Mrs. Lincoln came out on the porch and gave him cookies. Abraham came out shortly after and asked, 'Who do we have here?', 'My son, Morrie,' his father replied. Mr. Lincoln then patted grandpa on the head and called him 'my little Republican.' The story goes that grandpa never voted anything other than Republican in his entire life."
