The Jefferson Lemen Compact - Was it True

[RJNorton]

As to the rest of your post, first, I would like to see a link to the article from the Centralia paper or post it without your ellipses so I can judge it myself in its entirety.

Maharba, if you cannot do as Rob asks and post a link or post the article, I will do it for you. Please scan the entire article and send me an email with the scanned article as a file attachment. I will then upload the scan to my server and post the article for all members to read.

Another source I have checked re: Lemen is Following in Lincoln's Footsteps: A Complete Annotated Reference to Hundreds of Historical Sites Visited by Abraham Lincoln by Ralph Gary. The Lemen name is not mentioned a single time.
