I checked the status of this and it is false. However I felt it was clever & funny enough to share anyway! :lol:

Remus Rodham
Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher,
discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle,
Remus Rodham, 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 e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's
staff of professional image adjusters sent back the
following biographical sketch:
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.
