A PRESIDENTIAL VISIT!
A lot of people usually turn out to see a
President when he visits a town. But it's not
very often a President shows up to see an
individual. And yet that's exactly what
happened on this very date in 1861. Abe
Lincoln was the President. He was on a train
heading for Washington when he stopped in
the town of Westfield to visit the Bedell
family. The family member he wanted to
see was the Bedell's 11-year-old daughter
Grace. She's the little firl who wrote to suggest
he could get more votes if he grew a beard! Of
course he did and it worked! Abe just wanted
to stop by to personally thank her for the advice!
Out of the mouths of babes! Hope you're well
and that all your NEWS is good!
