Description |
English: In November 1901, Alfred W. Dennett, owner of Sinking Spring Farm and the Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis 'birth cabins', filed for bankruptcy. In an effort to protect his investment, prior to filing for bankruptcy Dennett conveyed ownership of the farm and cabins to David Crear, a friend and creditor. Over the next three years the logs of the Lincoln and Davis birthplace cabins were contracted to various exhibitors in Buffalo, New York and Coney Island. By late 1904, the logs of both cabins were placed in storage in the basement of the Poppenhusen Mansion at College Point on Long Island. This was to change in May 1905 when the LaRue County Circuit Court ruled the conveyance of the farm to Crear as fraudulent and ordered the farm to be sold by commissioner sale at the courthouse steps. So, by February 1906 Crear sold the logs to the Lincoln cabin to the Lincoln Farm Association for $1,000. In early June 1906 workers at the Poppenhusen Mansion loaded the logs onto a wagon for their transference to a railroad flatcar at Pennsylvania Station in New York City. The train with the flatcar carrying the logs of the Lincoln birthplace cabin departed New York City on June 6 for its circuitous tour to Kentucky.
