Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[David Lockmiller]

Decades later, Isaac Cogdal asked Lincoln about Anne Rutledge. Lincoln's response was:

"I loved the woman dearly & sacredly: she was a handsome girl — would have made a good loving wife — was natural & quite intellectual, though not highly Educated — I did honestly — & truly love the girl & think often — often of her now."

A lost love never dies! It never happened. When you die, both are dead.
