The People's Journal of March 1, 1899 recorded the death of Mrs. Lizzie Carter, whose residence was on Lincoln Ave.

What the source supports

That Lincoln Ave was a street with residents by 1899.

Uncertainty

The wording is a transcription of the People's Journal, which condenses some entries; the newspaper OCR was not re-read for this claim. The printed page was not recorded. The item gives no house number and does not name the town; the reading notes later list Lincoln Ave among the Berryville streets the paper names, which is probable but not established for 1899.
