RE: Who is this person?
Excellent and very logical guess, Eva, but it was not Burner.
Hint #1: It was a New Salem resident who saw Lincoln lift this amazing poundage. |

RE: Who is this person?
Congratulations, Gene! Indeed it was Row Herndon, a cousin of William Herndon. It was also Row Herndon who said there were rumors of Lincoln fathering a couple of children during his New Salem years. Row Herndon departed New Salem in 1833 after accidentally (according to him) shooting and killing his wife. Apparently the New Salem residents were fairly evenly divided on whether the killing was accidental or on purpose.

RE: Who is this person?
This person is not very well known in her own right, but she has several connections to Lincoln scholarship. Who is she? No help from the web, please.

RE: Who is this person?
Sorry guys. Both are great guesses, but incorrect. Next clue. She began her study of Lincoln in 1945.

Next clue. She's buried in Springfield alongside her husband and her husband's first wife.
