Essays WrittenÂ
in School
In 1904, the Deer River School consisted of about three dozen students. In February, the sixth graders were assigned to write an essay about President Lincoln. Two were selected to be printed in the newspaper.
Roy Belcherâs essay was about a half a column and here is the first paragraph.
âNot long after the Boones crossed the mountains to Kentucky, a man by the name of Abraham Lincoln followed their example and brought his wife and children with him. The Lincolns and Boones were of the same class of people. They were hardy pioneers always seeking a new country. This Abraham Lincoln was grandfather of President Abraham Lincoln, who was born in a log-cabin in Kentucky, February 12, 1809.âÂ
