An Early "Character"

July 6, 1960, Oshkosh Northwestern 

July 18, 1960, Twin City News-Record
No, it's not THAT "A. Lincoln."  We're talking about ANSON Lincoln, a self-proclaimed jokester and all around character from the tone of this article.  Mr. Lincoln was an all-around civic personality- postmaster, city clerk, druggist, part-time journalist, and inveterate hoaxster.  From the sound of it, wherever he went, be it Menasha or later in Chicago, Anson Lincoln made sure the citizenry talked about him. I'd love to find the photograph his relative mentions in the story.
