Grave of James Rutledge, father of Ann

[STS Lincolnite]

Thanks Roger. I think if Lincoln did in fact write the poem, Miller's conclusions seem reasonable. If it was true that the poem was found by the bones of someone thought to have committed suicide, that seems to be a strange place for Lincoln to have left the poem. Of course its entirely possible that the author of the poem or the newspaper itself told a little white lie about the poem to make it more interesting to the readership.
