Learning Like Abe:  Read'n, Writ'n and Cipher'n

          The 21 year old Abe would make a trip to Jone's store to stock up on a little stock of pins, needles, buttons, tinware, suspenders, and knickknacks, to peddle on the way to Illinois.  After a final trip to the knoll where his mother was buried, Abe would say perhaps his last goodbye.
    The Lincolns would pack the wagon with bundles of bedclothes, skillets, ovens, and a few pieces of furniture.  Abraham, as a full-grown adult, could have gone anywhere and done whatever he wanted, but he stuck to his family.  He would make the two-week trip to Illinois.
