Miss Todd left at the altar

[RJNorton]

Hi Rob. I agree anything is possible. Like with many Lincoln-related topics, we may never get to the "whole truth" on this one. I'd like to throw another name in the mix - Matilda Edwards. I think she was Ninian Edwards' cousin. I think I once read that Douglas, Speed, Lincoln, and half the young men in Springfield were after her! I wonder what, if any, role she plays in all of this. Perhaps Lincoln left Mary at the altar because he thought he loved Matilda more? Maybe that's a stretch, but it does seem there are several possibilities regarding this topic. I am still leaning to disbelieving the "no show" story, but I am open to all possibilities.

Donna, please correct me if I am wrong, but I think Matilda was only a teenager at this point in time.
