Lincoln's law practice

[edit]

The article states that "as a young man he [Lincoln] practiced law at the nearby Spencer County [Indiana] courthouse." Did he? His family moved to Illinois in 1830, and Lincoln did not become a lawyer in Illinois until 1837. Also, the Spencer County courthouse was not "nearby" the Lincoln homestead in Indiana, but about 20 miles away by rough travel in the early 19th century.

Notable people section

[edit]

The section needs to state if they lived here or went to the high school, currently it makes it look like they all lived here aside from President Lincoln who did live here — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbegle (talkcontribs) 02:30, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
