The funeral of Ernest Erdine Lincoln was held from his late residence on South Main Street at 10:30 a. m. yesterday. After a brief service at the house, the relatives and friends, a large number of whom were in attendance, went with the casket to the Methodist Church at Lacey Spring, where another service was held. The Rev. R. D. McNeer, pastor at Lacey Spring, was in charge, assisted by Rev. H. R. Deal, of Harrisonburg.
The pallbearers were Walter Early; William Grandle, W. F. Koontz, W. A. Brock, E. F. Myers and D. A. Brock. Interment was made in the cemetery just west of Lacey Spring, where a number of Lincolns and relatives of the family are buried.
Mr. Lincoln was a direct descendant of "Virginia John," the first Lincoln to settle in this part of Virginia, and a relative of the President.
Ernest Erdine Lincoln, born at Lacey Spring, October 2, 1877, was the eldest child of his parents, Harvey Preston Lincoln and his wife, Henrietta Grandle.
Harvey Preston was the eldest son of Jacob Nicholas Lincoln, a son of David, who was the first Lincoln to settle at Lacey (or Lincoln) Spring. David Lincoln operated a wayside tavern for many years, well known to travelers up and down the Valley as the Lincoln Inn. It stood in the bank just above the great spring, hard by the east side of the pike. The site was leveled down a few years ago when the highway was widened and moved a few yards to the east of its course through the village
David Lincoln was the eldest son of Captain Jacob Lincoln, who was a soldier of the Revolution and one of the five sons of "Virginia John" who came with him from Pennsylvania in 1768, when he purchased 600 acres of land on Linville Creek, or shortly thereafter.
Jacob married Dorcas, daughter of David Robinson, who lived on land now occupied by the town of Broadway. She named her eldest son for her father, David; the second for her husband's father, John; the third for her husband, Jacob and the fourth (the youngest) for one of her husband's brothers, Abraham.
Abraham, son of Captain Jacob, was for a number of years, colonel of militia in Rockingham county. His uncle Abraham, for whom he was named, went to Kentucky in 1781, taking with him his family, among: whom was his son Thomas, aged about four years. Thomas later was the father of the President, accordingly. Colonel Abraham, of Linville Creek and his brother, David, of Lacey Spring, were first cousins of Thomas, the President's father.
Ernest Erdine Lincoln, soon after his marriage on October 18, 1911, -with Kathleen Zlrkle, of New Market, went to Pittsburgh, where he was engaged for a year and a half with J. M. Roberts & Sons Co., jewelers. The next seven years he lived in Philadelphia, where he operated a bakery and delicatessen. From 1920 to 1923 he lived at Middletown, Delaware, carrying on a dairy farm. Locating in Harrisonburg in 1923, Mr. Lincoln conducted a transfer business, and in 1925, when the branch post office of the city was established opposite the college, he and Mrs. Lincoln were put in charge of it.'
Since Mr. Lincoln's health gave way a year or two ago the post office and a store in connection therewith have been carried on by Mrs. Lincoln, assisted by her son, Ernest E. Lincoln, Jr. and her daughters, Ellen, Henrietta (Mrs. Tom Calton) and Adaline.
