And His Early
Experiences as
a Law maker

cumstances over which he had no con-
troll prevented his departure from
time to time until years had rolled
away and AIMS heart had grown sick
with hope deferred. She never quite
gave him up, but continued to expect
him until death terminated her melan-
choly watch. His inexplicable delay,
however, the infrequenc # his letters
and their unsa6 sfacto.. character
these and something else had broken
her attachment, and toward the last
she waited for him only to ask a re-
lease from her engagement and to say
that she preferred another and a more
urgent sutton. But without his knowl-
edge and formal remuneration of his
claim upon her she did not like to mar
ry, and in obedience to this refinement
of honor she postponed her union with
the more pressing lover until Aug. Is,
1885, when, as many persons believe,
she died of a broken heart.
Lincoln's friend Short was in some
way related to the Rutledges, and for
awhile Lincoln visited Ann two or
three times week at his house. Ac-
cording to him, miss Rutledge was a
good looking, smart, lively girl, good
housekeeper, with moderate educa-
ton and without any of the so called
accomplishments" L. M. Greene, who
knew her we'll, talks about her as "a
beautiful and very amiable young wo-
man." and Multi Greene is even more
enthusiastic, .."This young LADY," in
the language Of the latter gentleman,
'was a woman Of exquisite beauty,
but her intellect was quick, sharp,
deep and philosophic as we'll as bril-
liant. She had as gentle and kind a
heart as an angel, full Of love, kindli-
ness and sympathy. She was beloved
by everybody, and everybody respect
ed and loved her, so sweet and angelic
was she. Her character was more
than good; it was positively noted
throughout the county. She was a
woman worthy Of Lincolns love-" Nc
Namar, her unfortunate lover, says,
Miss Ann was a gentle, amiable maid
en-, without any Of the airs Of your city
bellies, but winsome and comely withal,
blond in complexion, with golden
hair, cherry red lips and bonny blue
eyes," Even the women of the neigh
borhood united with the men to praise
the name of this beautiful but unhap-
py girl. Mrs. Hardin Bale "knew her
we'll. She had auburn hair, blue eyes,
fair complexion, was slim, pretty,
kind tender good hearted woman in
height about five feet three inches and
weighed about 12O pounds. She was
beloved by all who knew her. McNa-
mar, Hill and Lincoln all courted her
near the same time She died as it
were of grief. Miss Rutledge was
beautiful" Such was Ann Rutledge,
the girl in whose grave, Mr. Lincoln
said, my heart lies buried"
When Mr.. Lincoln first saw Ann, she
was probably the most refined woman
with whom he had then ever spoken
