The Grave of Ann Rutledge, New Salem Park, Illinois

This older, undated postcard shows the grave of Ann Rutledge- a friend, and according to Abe Lincoln's law partner after Abe's death, an early girlfriend of the 16th President's.

Underneath the scan of the postcard, I have some photos from our recent visit to Oakland Cemetery, a few miles from New Salem, Illinois.

Check out the photo taken from roughly the same spot as the postcard!  There are MORE monuments in the photo, but some of the tombstones and the pointed top building are in both!
