Hello Ms. Blessman,

Out little town was home to a one-man music publishing company from the the mid 1890s through early 1940s. One piece was "Lincoln"--words by S.E. Kiser/Music by J.A. Parks. We finally got a copy of the female voice version (we're hoping to get copies of the male and mixed voice versions from Brown University sometime before the 1st of the year on microfilm.)

On the off chance your collection does not have this piece, I'm sending you a photocopy to your attention.

If you already have the sheet music version the copy will be redundant.

Regards,

Stan Schulz, Library Director, Kilgore Memorial Library, York Nebraska
