Abraham’s Childhood In Notin Creek where Abraham learned to walk, Abraham was already about four years of age when he moved out of Notin Creek and into Knob Creek and only one month after being there Abe already liked to fish.

Abe when he was 10 his mother passed away from the disease called milk sickness and Abraham as lonely as he was would wander in the woods and pick up logs to chop later on. But it wasn’t all bad Abraham had a very nice step mother named Sarah Bush Jonson and Abraham and Sarah were very close. Abraham loved to read books but the only book he owned was the bible and he knew every word of it. Abraham Lincoln also loved outdoors he worked for a homesteader chopping wood in the cool morning air. Abraham also had an older sister named sally.

4. Teen Years After Abraham was chopping wood for old homesteaders, Abraham went to church when he was only about fourteen years old with his sister sally and his father but not for the community praying but as a job sweeping out church and lighting/supplying it with candles. When Abraham was about fifteen Abraham went to school to learn how to write letters, words, sentences, and paragraphs. When Abraham was sixteen he only went to school for about a year then dropped out because he learned all he needed to. But after Abraham learned to read he loved to tell jokes to friends and family. Also when he was sixteen he was already six feet tall! Talk about your tall future president!
