Hillary Clinton's uncle

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... :"
