Carroll Power, deceased; Jasper N. Reece, deceased ; Gustavus S. Dana ; James F. McNeill ; Joseph P. Lind- ley ; Edward S. Johnson; Horace Chapin ; Noble B. Wiggins, deceased, and Clinton L. Conkling. Their object was to guard the precious dust of Abraham Lincoln from vandal hands and to conduct, upon the anniversaries of his birth and death, suitable memorial exercises. During these years an admittance fee of twenty-five cents was required of all visitors to the monument, and this small fee co...nsti- tuted a fund by which the custodian Avas paid and the necessary expenses of the care of the grounds defrayed. In the winter of 1894, in response to a demand voiced almost universally by the press and the people of Illinois, the General Assembly made provision for the transfer of the National Lincoln Monument and grounds to the permanent care and custody of the State. The new law puts the monument into the charge of a board of control, consisting of the Governor of the State, the State Super- intendent of Public Instruction and the State Treasurer.
