Abraham Lincoln had many people who contributed, in one way or another, to his growth and development, and whose influence helped shape the man that he became. To fully understand Abraham Lincoln and who he was, we have to know who these people were and what contributions they made to his life.


			Did You Know? In 1900, Robert Todd Lincoln gave $1000 for the care of his grandmother’s grave. This stimulated the Spencer County to appropriate $800 for the purchase of 16 acres surrounding the gravesite. This eventually led to the establishment of Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial.
