THE STORY OF THE ROLLS In the spring of 1828, William Roll, his brother, Jacob and the latter's son, Pierson Roll, arrived in Sangamon Town from New Jersey. William Roll became a farmer, his brother, Jacob, was the owner of a store, a grist mill and the Sangamon Town Postmaster, and Pierson Roll became an extensive land owner. Two years later, John Roll, followed his father, William Roll to Sangamon Town with the balance of the Roll family. It was here that the younger Roll met Abraham Lincoln for the first time early in 1831 when he helped the latter build the flat boat that later became lodged on the RutledgeDam at New Salem, Illinois. John made all the wooden pins for the boat, as in those days wodden pins were used in place of nails. After Lincoln departed from Sangamon Town life once more became dull and John Roll, like his friend "Abe" left the village and made his home at Springfield, Illinois. It was at Springfield some years later that Mr. Lincoln made his first political promise, stating that when he became president he would give John Roll an office. This was long before Lincoln was thought of for the Presidency. John Roll was one of the contractors on the Old State House in Springfield, while his brother-in-law, John F. Rague, was it's architect. As a contractor Roll made repairs at the Lincoln home in 1849 and in settlement for the work received "six walnut doors and cash." The doors were made into furniture and souvenirs, which presently are in the author's possession. In 1854 John Roll's son, William Vandyke Roll, was a school mate of Robert Lincoln at the Illinois State University. His two smaller children, Frank P. and John Linden Roll were playmates of Tad and Willie Lincoln. When the Lincolns departed for Washington, they presented their dog 'Fido' to the Roll boys. When Mr. Lincoln made his House Divided Speech in the Old State House he said, [quotation on back] "There is my friend, John Roll, etc. etc...........". This friendship persisted to Lincoln's untimely death, after which John Roll until his death in 1901 lived in reveries of his beloved hero of the 'Flat Boat' building days. The Rolls, with one exception, your author, have followed their friends the Lincoln to the Great Beyond. John Linden Roll is the last of those Rolls that were so intimately associated with the Lincolns. His fondest possessions are the hundreds of souvenirs, pictures, clippings and tokens dealing with Lincoln. I hope this short biographical sketch gives you a small fraction of the pleasure that I derived in compiling it for you. Sincerely, John Linden Roll JOHN LINDEN ROLL 825 Henrietta St. Springfield Ills <hr /> on page 12 VOL 2 Miss Tarbell's Life of Lincoln you will find illustrated an old sofa which my father bought of Lincoln before they left for Washington.

FROM: MARIE HARRIMAN GALLERY 61-63 East 57th Street New York City Tel. Wi.2-0686 January 6th 1941 Paintings by Edwin Booth Grossmann January 13 - Feb. 1, 1941 The first exhibition in many years of paintings by Edwin Booth Grossman, one of America's unadvertised artists, will be held at the Marie Harriman Gallery, 61 East 57th Street, New York, beginning January 13. The one-man show, comprising 16 landscapes and still lifes in oil and a small group of watercolors, will continue for three weeks, through February 1. Grandson of the late Edwin Booth, who founded The Players and who was probably the greatest figure in the making of the American theatre, Grossmann chose a career as a painter despite enviable opportunities and connections with the stage. He studied art at the old Chase Art School and later in Paris where his work was accepted one year by the Paris Salon. Minor exhibitions of his work were held in two New York galleries in 1920 and in 1928. More than a dozen years ago Grossmann withdrew entirely from the exhibiting field in order rigorously to perfect a mature style of painting completely expressive of himself. He has destroyed much of his own work, constantly editing his production to retain only the clearest statements. <hr /> -2- Most of the present group of landscapes are views of the hilly country near Avenue Farm, Fishkill, New York, where the artist has lived for the past five years. There are also marine studies and landscapes from the Maine coast. Derived structurally from the art of Cezanne, the paintings are marked for a highly dramatic use of sunlight, which is thrown against the hills and valleys with a climactic force that reveals the artist's joy in capturing the fleeting moments in nature. The placid lake surfaces, rolling terrain, rising hill-tops, rows of trees, elemental rocks and other forms of the earth's surface are built into pictures that have a strong underlying armature of abstract design. Nature has always been the first interest in Grossmann's life. As a youth he learned taxidermy in order to form a large collection of stuffed birds and animals which he shot himself. Since that time, however, he has given up hunting, and several of the still lifes of dead game in the present exhibition carry a tragic note of regret for the destruction of wild life. Grossmann was born in Boston in 1887, the son of a Hungarian-born New York banker and Edwina Booth, the only child of Edwin Booth. Grossmann's father came to America when he was very young and grew up in the Brahmin literary environment of New England where he lived with Celia Thaxter's family on the Isles of Shoals, near Portsmouth, N. H. Grossmann traveled extensively through Europe with his family, and from the age of <hr /> -3- twelve he spent much time in the zoos of New York and Europe sketching all types of animals. His first contact with modernism came through his acquaintance with Alfred Maurer in Paris before the war, but it was not until after Grossmann had returned to American that he fully grasped its significance and began applying its principles to his own work. The paintings in his present exhibition represent a selection of the artist's most recent and mature state of development. Paul Bird, assistant editor of The Art Digest, has contributed a foreword to the catalogue of the Grossmann exhibition. <ol> <li><ol> <li><ol> <li> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> </ol> Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.

I was very interested to learn that from time to time you are giving lectures on the life of my grandfather and that there has been so much interest aroused. I fervently hope that you will soon be able to fill your glass hanging wall cases. During her lifetime my mother donated many costumes etc. belonging to her father to The Players.

Davis and consorts. 5., That we, contrary to this report, consider the minority report of the same committee, as the noble expression of the sentiments of true patriots, and acknowledge and esteem the same as such with all our heart, and that we are convinced that the same will be endorsed by every soldier of the State of Illinois. 6., That we hope and wish, that this rebellion may soon be suppressed, but only by force of arms, and that then the traitors in the north as well as the leaders of the rebellion in the south, may not evade their just punishment. 7., That these resolutions be published in the "Illinois-Staats-Zeitung" and the "Chicago Tribune," <hr /> and copies thereof be sent to the Governor of Illinois and to our representatives in Congress, as well as to our Colonel Frederic Hecker, who, unfortunately, was prevented by disease, from participating in this demonstration.

Head Quarters Co. E. 6th Ills. Cav. LaGrange Tenn. Feb. 15, 1863. A. Kitchell, Dear Sir. I have for some time been indulging myself, with the wish to try the experiment of rais a Regment of Negros, and drill them for the service. This with many at home. I know would be a vary unpoplar undertaking. But at the first braking out of this rebelian. I started out to do all that was in my power to put it down. And I now am prepared to use every means. that will kill a trator. It is now almost one year since I came into the Slave States, and have been imployed the greater part of the time in Scouting. which has thrown me in constant communication with the Negros. And I have been induced to believe that they can be made avalible as Solders. I think that it is the true policy for the government to use every means that it can <hr /> to protect the lives of its white citizens. and the Government will be weakened less by the loss of three negros than it would be by the loss of one white man. This is my opinion it my be erronious. My health has become such that I fear that I will not be able to withstand the hardships of the Cavlery Service much longer. Is one reson for my wishing to make this change of Sirvice. And an other I think that I can do more good by organising a thousand ineffective men and making them usefull Solders than I can by commanding an old and well drilled company. To enable me to set about this enterprise I must have an order from the war department. And this will have to be obtained through some influencial friend. You know that all of my friends are opposed to the Negros being brought into the service. The assistance of Gov. Yates would be of great adventige. If you will lend me what assistance you can I will try to do my duty. is all the <hr /> promice that I will make least I should break it. Yours John Lynch, Capt. Cam. Co. E. 6th Redgt. Ills. Cav.

His Excelency Richard Yates Governor of Illinois: Sir: It is made my agreeable duty to transmit to you the accompanying proceedings and resolutions, expressive of the sentiments of Illinois volunteers at this post, and in its vicinity, on a subject deeply affecting the success of their arms and the honor of their state. The almost unanimous vote by which the resolutions were adopted by the different commands, submitted, as they were, without solicitation or pressure, is sufficient evidence of the unswerving loyalty and patriotism of the good and gallant men you have sent to the field. You may rest assured that these men have no sympathy with that class, whose courage finds expression alone, in a war upon the nation's benefactors and defenders, and who affect to seek peace through submission to Traitors who spurn all offers of peace, not based upon the overthrow of the government, the disruption of the union, and the dishonor of our flag. Let it be understood, that the Soldiers of Illinois are in earnest. They came to this service <hr /> with honest purposes and right convictions of duty - as patriots, not as partisans. Whatever clouds obscured their sight before they see clearly, now. They have passed through the baptism of fire and blood, into a living faith in the justice of their cause, the eternity of the union, and in their own ability to maintain it. A great mistake is being made in the effort to pervert party names to disloyal uses. The soldier feels, as one feels a disgraceful blow, the wound thus inflicted upon the integrity of his political faith. He holds, however, the remedy in his own hands, and will apply it when the cartridge box gives way to the ballot box. For whatever shapes or names, political organizations then may take, those now sustaining the government and laboring to vindicate the constitution and laws will prevail: while those who hold dalliance with treason, and cry peace when there is no peace, save in dishonor, will shrink from the stage and seek shelter in obscurity. The honor of Illinois is dear to her soldiers. Their blood has nourished it, and they will not permit it to be compromised. Claiming brotherhood with those at home, who, inspired by your own counsels and labors, have sustained and encouraged <hr /> them. They will go on to the end of this sad business, with full confidence in a glorious and happy termination. Respectfully Your Ob't. Servant, M. Brayman Brig. Gen. Comg. <hr /> Brayman, Genl.
