I post this purely for humours sake. Factual or Not, humans
are a clever bunch.Eugene Judy, a professional genealogical researcher,
discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus
Rodham, a fellow lacking in character, was hanged for horse
stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only
known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the
gallows.
On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Rodham;
horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped
1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by
Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889."
Judy emailed Hillary Clinton @NY.Gov for comments. Hillary's
staff of professional image adjustors cropped Remus's
picture, scanned it, enlarged the image, and edited it with
image processing software so that all that's seen is a head
shot.
The accompanying biographical sketch is as follows:
"Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana
Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of
valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the
Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several
years of his life to service at a government facility, finally
taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887,
he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the
renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus
passed away during an important civic function held in his
honor when the platform upon which he was standing
collapsed... :"
