PatS.... Posted February 19, 2008 Report Posted February 19, 2008 Whether you are for or against Hillary, this is too funny not to share with all of you! :D Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: 'Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889. Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's staff of professional image adjusters sent back the following biographical sketch: 'Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.' Quote

claybill Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 funny yes, but if not true, why pass it on? i would look closely at the people starting this stuff. what is their reason? who are they tryiing to reach? think about it. claybill Quote
Lou Earle Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 In a small North Georgia town a newly wealthy family wanted their daughter in the United Daughters of the Confederacy. That requires an ancestor who served in the service on the Confederate side. They paid a researcher a good bit and sure enough he found a Ledbetter who had served in the Georgia Militia during the war. But he did not go quite far enough- after she had been inducted into the UDC someone went a little further and checked his military record- which ended abruptly in about 1863 when he was hung for desertion. Caused quite a flitter in the North Georgia chapter of the UDC. All true. Lou Quote

Olddaddy, In the back of my mind for years I have wondered about the family resemblance between Cheney and Obama. Thank you for pointing out that Cheney is Obama uncle. The more I see them in my mind the more traits they have in common. Ed Quote
