ABRAHAM LINCOLN was not a Freemason.  He did apply for membership in Tyrian Lodge, Springfield, Ill., shortly after his nomination for the Presidency in 1860, but withdrew the application because he felt that his applying for membership at that time might be construed as a political ruse to obtain votes.  He advised the Lodge that he would resubmit his application again when he returned from the Presidency.

LINCOLN never returned due to his assassination.  On the death of the President, Tyrian Lodge adopted, on 17 April, 1865, a resolution to say “that the decision of President Lincoln to postpone his application for the honours of Freemasonry, lest his motives be misconstrued, is the highest degree honorable to his memory.”
