GENERAL NOTES

"The family had moved to Worcester in 1837 and here Lincoln began learning the blacksmith trade when eighteen years of age. A short time in the summer of 1849 he worked in Springfield and in fall removed to Cleveland Ohio where he superintended the blacksmithing in the construction of the Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad. In June 1856 he came to Shakopee and that year erected the first saw-mill in the place, which he operated in company with his brothers; was also engaged in lime burning. Mr. Lincoln was a member of the Senate in 1863-4 has also held different town offices and has been city alderman. (History of the Minnesota Valley, Edward Duffield Neill, 1882)
