Excerpt from Personal Recollections: Of Early Decatur, Abraham Lincoln, Richard J. Oglesby and the Civil War Nations and men and women are born, run their course and die, but the records of their lives and deeds go on either as a warning or encouragement to those who follow after. The Decatur Chapter of the Society of Daughters American Revolution was formed with fifteen charter members, February 4, 1896, at the home of Miss Myra Belle Ewing, who was elected its first Regent. As stated in the Constitution the object of the organization is: "To perpetuate the memory of the spirit of the men and women who achieved American independence, by the acquisition and protection of historic spots; by the erection of memorial tablets and monuments; by the encouragement of historical research; by the promotion and celebration of all patriotic anniversaries and by the preservation 01 documents, relics and records." The members are also pledged to cherish, maintain and extend the institutions of America; to foster true patriotism and love of country and to aid in securing for mankind all belongings of liberty.

Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln At the outbreak of the Civil War, Mr. Stim mel was a student in the public schools of Co lumbus, Ohio, after which he entered the Ohio Wesleyan University. In 1 863 he was honored by being selected as one of a Company of one hundred men, to be known as the Lincoln Body guard, with headquarters near the White House in Washington. This brought Sergeant Stimmel in almost daily observation of the President, and furnished an opportunity for a study of Lincoln that fell to the lot of but few.

Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and Men of War-Times: Some Personal Recollections of War and Politics During the Lincoln Administration I saw Mr. Lincoln many times during his Presidential term, and, like all of the many others who had intimate relations with him, I enjoyed his confidence only within the limitations of the necessities of the occasion. I do not therefore write these chapters assuming to have been the confidant of Mr. Lincoln; but in some things I did see him as he was, and, from necessity, knew what he did and why he did it. What thus happened to come under my own observation and within my own hearing often related to men or measures of moment then and quite as momentous now, when the events of the war are about to be finally crystallized into history.

Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Abraham Lincoln Lincoln lore has become so rich in recent years, and so voluminous withal, that he who would add to it must needs show cause why his book should be read. And yet, in spite of all that has been written, it cannot be said that we yet have a thoroughly satisfactory interpretation of the life and work and character of our First American. A few have had the necessary knowledge and sympathy, but their literary power has not always been adequate. Others have written well, but they have failed of insight and understanding. In the meantime the volume of facts, impressions, and reminiscences increases, and by assembling items from a variety of sources we are coming to a composite conception of our prophet-president that is at once vivid and satisfying.
