No. He didn't. He was born in Kentucky, but later moved to Iowa, and then to Illinois. He lived in New Salem for a short time, then moved to Springfield Illinois. He considered Springfield his home; the only house Lincoln ever owned is in Springfield Illinois. Besides, if you think of it, Lincoln, Illinois had to be named AFTER Lincoln became president, therefore he could not have lived there as he died while living in the White House.

How is the contrast between city life and village life in this story postmaster?

The story "Postmaster" by Rabindranath Tagore portrays the contrast between city life, represented by the postmaster, and village life, represented by Ratan. The city life is depicted as fast-paced and impersonal, while village life is portrayed as slow-paced and fostered deep human connections. Ratan's innocence and simplicity stand in stark contrast to the postmaster's loneliness and detachment, illustrating the differences in values between urban and rural settings.
