While living with his father on a farm about seventeen miles from here came often to Boonville to hear court trials and to borrow books from John A. Brackenridge. From this corner Abraham Lincoln traveled north by ox-team on the old Boonville-Petersburg-Vincennes road when emigrating to Illinios in 1830.
