In 1829 Samuel Hill and John McNamar (aka McNeil) built the first general store in New Salem. A few years later they dissolved the partnership by mutual consent and Hill expanded his investments & opened a carding mill. He was postmaster until 1833 when Lincoln assumed the position in an appointment by President Andrew Jackson. In 1835 Samuel Hill built the only full two-story home in New Salem for his bride. It also was one of few buildings in the village known to have a porch.
