Hastys Relatives of Lincoln' However They Knew Little of the Emancipator and the Family Only Has One of His Letters.

That Abraham Lincoln', whose centenary anniversary was observed in every part of the world Fri'day was unknown and unheard of even among his relatives until he was elected president the first time, was established last evening through statements by local relatives, Including Oscar, John, Marcus and Byram Hasty and Miss Lizzie Hasty, who were second cousins to the emancipator. The relationship between the Hastys is as follows: Their great-grandmother, Mary Lincoln, was a sister of Thomas Lincoln, father of Abraham Lincoln. With the exception of the relationship the local relatives can claim little knowledge of Lincoln. Practically no communication was beld between Lincoln and his local relatives, the only instance remembered by them is a letter received from the president thanking two aged cousins, once removed, for a pair of socks knitted by them. These cousins of the president lived in Clinton county at the time. Gives Family Tree. Mrs. Hasty, widow of the late Martin Hasty of this city, when seen at here residence, 222 North Thirtetenth street, outlined the relationship as " follows: Mary Lincoln, sister of; Thomas Lincoln, married Daniel Crum; their daughter, Sarah Crum, married James Hasty, one of whose chidlren was Martin Hasty, who was a resident of this city until the time of his death a few years ago. He was the , father of the above named. j The fact that there was relationship , between themselves and Lincoln was ; established at the time of his election as president. One day some of the local relatives while visiting their kinsmen in Clinton county, Indiana, learned that their grandmother was named Mary Lincoln. Investigation lead to the establishment of the claim of relationship. This was done by the president himself who, after his election, was communicated with by his relatives. He wrote them a long letter explaining the relationship in detail and also thanked the two sisters for a pair of knit seeks sent him by them. These two sisters whose names are not remembered by Mrs. M. A. Hasty she being a young woman at the time and her memory since somewhat im Double

IKl paired now by old age even spun the lambs' wool used in the socks given the president. Never Knew Lincoln. Local relatives never knew Lincoln nor had any communication with him. The only word ever received from him was by the two old women residing in Clinton county. Nothing which once belonged to the president is owned by the Richmond Hastys. It appears that they took but little interest in their distinguised kinsman. Many things accounted for this. One was the high price of postage, it then being necessary to pay ten cents to send a letter, now sent for two cents. Another reason given was that the mails were slower than now. Left Old Kentucky. Mary Lincoln Crum, great grandmother of the Richmond Hastys, and her husband emigrated to Ohio soon after their marriage. Their children, including the above mentioned sisters who resided in Clinton county settled in Indiana and Ohio. Sarah Crum, one of their daughters, married James Hasty, the grandfather of the local Hastys, and he was the first one to settle in what is now Camden, O. Mrs. M. A. Hasty can remember several stories told by her mother-in-law. Mrs. James Hasty regarding her mother's and grandmother's early life. According to these stories the early life of Lincoln seems have been filled with no more hardships than that ex perienced by other children. The im pression was gained by Mrs. Hasty that Lincoln's family was in as good circumstances as the average pioneer ramily. There are a large number of second and third cousins to the martyred president residing Whitly county, Indiana and In Michigan. There are also several relatives living in Preble and adjoining counties In Ohio. The Hastys and their relatives who were old enough to go to war during the period of civil strife, enlisted in the federal army. "What does the president of the United States have to do. pa?"
