Gene,
I guess that's why you make the big money.
Roger, it is Rosenwald. He was connected to Tarbell by asking her to write his biography and to Lincoln by being born in Springfield just a few blocks away from Lincoln's home. In fact, the NPS has put Rosenwald's birthplace in the Lincoln park area.

I'm running out of clues so I think I will lift the Google restriction.

Rob, a friendly suggestion,
I think you might have better results if your clues and questions matched up better with our answers.

You may Google to your heart's content, because I don't think it will help.
After her death on January 6, 1944, Ida Tarbell was the subject of many editorials and tributes. However, there is one tribute that really stands out and, in my mind, doesn't make a lot of sense.
What am I talking about?

Clue: It was only around for around two years.

Rob, are you referring to a newspaper or magazine?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 06-22-2023
Roger,
No, it has absolutely nothing to do with a magazine or newspaper. It is a physical item.

A historical/commemorative marker?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 06-22-2023
Very logical guess, Gene, but that's not it. The first historical marker to Tarbell was in 1941 in Pennsylvania, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania put one up in the early 1950s.

How about a play about Ida Tarbell's life that was not well-attended and shut down after a couple of years?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Anita - 06-22-2023
An oil well?
RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 06-22-2023
Sorry, but neither guess is correct.
Clue: Tarbell wasn't the only person honored this way. In fact, several hundred were.
