Summary
This is a pamphlet which tells the story of Matilda Edwards Strong who is buried in Reading PA, where she lived with her husband. Earlier in her life she lived in the midwest as a guest in the home of the wealthy Edwards family in Springfield, Illinois. Mary Todd, Abraham Lincoln's future wife, was also a relative of that family and was visiting there at the same time. Lincoln and Todd became very close, but it was rumored that Lincoln for a period was drawn toward Matilda. This is the basis of the story connecting Lincoln to Reading.

Abraham Rudisill was born in Hanover PA on April 14, 1811, and entered the Pennsylvania Conference of the United Brethren Church in 1871 at the age of 60. A truly unique personality, he was a soldier throughout the Civil War, including the Battle of Gettysburg. He was also a self-educated scientist who contributed many articles to scientific journals. As much at home with Greek and Hebrew as with English, he was also a scholar and writer - and for a while he published a paper called The Monthly Friend. More information about Abraham, along with many of his letters, can be found at https://www.lycoming.edu/umarch/chronicles/2012/RudisillCombined.pdf.
