The incident was recently recalled by -the dedication of a new railroad train, the "Ann Rutledge," in which a prominent role was taken by the great grand-niece and namesake of this pioneer belle. Today's Ann Rutledge, beauteous as her famous ancestor, is a stage actress. She comes from a family dating back to South Carolina and the Revolutionary war, one of whom signed the Declaration of Independence. Lincoln's Ann Rutledge was the daughter of a tavern keeper in New Salem, 111., whose love the bashful and awkward young politician sought four years. So inferior did he feel that Lincoln at one time ceased pursuing her and left for Vandalia, the Illinois state capital.

During his absence Ann was betrothed to John McNeil, a successful New Salem storekeeper whose shady past was suspected by Lincoln, since the young lawyer had handled papers for McNeil showing that his real name was McNamar. McNeil left New Salem for New York, with the understanding that he would soon return and claim his bride. Infrequent letters brought excuses and John McNeil did not return. Ann Rutledge sought a refuge and Harve Phillippi purchased a fine Hereford bull from the Lynch Bros. herd and Johnson Bros, of Axtell Salem.

A Legion Memorial Hall that would have been of untold benefit for all public gatherings, on the ground floor, with a basement for dancing, a movie show above and plenty of room for city council meetings.
