An amateur genealogical researcher discovered that his great-great
uncle, Remus Starr, 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 Starr; horse thief; sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885,
escaped 1887; robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton
detectives. Convicted and hanged 1889."
In a Family History subsequently written by the researcher, Remus’s
picture is cropped so that all that's seen is a head shot. The
accompanying biographical sketch is as follows:
"Remus Starr 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 1885, 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."

it hurts
to give my babies away
with breathtaking unfamiliarity realize that your names no longer associate with mine
but i know
that as you go
you will grow
and find your wings.
May the seeds be sown far abroad and may they flourish in that further soil.
