The Strevell House in Pontiac, Illinois was visited by Abraham Lincoln before he was President. He had given a speech in Pontiac, and spent the night in the Strevell home. This is well-documented.
Abraham Lincoln was friends with Elizabeth's father-in-law, who lived in the home in the 1850's and 1860's. Elizabeth's family later lived in the home after the elder Strevell's went West in 1879.
In the possession of Charles and Elizabeth Strevell was the door jamb taken from the house, which was marked with Lincoln's height when he visited there. This was taken West with the family, and in 1901, it was still in their possession. By the way, Lincoln measured 6 feet and 4 inches tall.
The Strevell home still stands today and is open for tours.-See picture aove.
Elizabeth and her husband were married April 12, 1881, in Pontiac, Illinois. They both died in Utah, and were brought back to Illinois to be buried. Their only son Willie, died in 1889.
