Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[Linda Anderson]

Betty O,
They claimed later that they did not know she was nearby but I doubt that is true. They were reportedly told that the president's widow was living across the street by guests at the banquet. I think they just wanted to avoid her and as sad as I feel for MTL I can't say I blame them. Mary was her own worst enemy. She went out of her way to make enemies when she was riding high...and people had long memories.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
