Lincoln and Ann Rutledge

[Ed Steers]

To those who believe Ann's remains were removed from Old Concord I suggest you read my chapter, "Ann Rutledge's Resting Place" in "Lincoln Legends." Sam Montgomery (the undertaker and part owner of Petersburg Cemetery) only removed an arm bone and a bucket of dirt. The rest of Ann remains in Old Concord. Montgomery only wanted people to think he reinterred her so he could sell burial lots in Petersburg. Ann still lies in Old Concord sans an arm bone.
