Solomon Lincoln (born 180-i). 



Solomon Lincoln, Jr. (born in Hingham, Feb. 28, 1804) was a 

 son of Solomon, who died Dec. 21,1831. The "junior" there- 

 fore was discontinued after the last-named date. Mr. Lincoln 

 was a man of large mental endowments, and a ready writer. For 

 many years he made valuable contributions to the columns of our 

 local newspaper, and during its earlier years was the real editor. 

 His interest in this direction was maintained to the last of his 

 life. He died Dec. 1, 1881. 



As a historian and genealogist he was regarded as the highest 

 authority. His numerous obituary notices, especially, bear testi- 

 mony to a degree of biographical information possessed by few 

 individuals.
