Ouch!

Since it's almost about railroadin' I knew you'd like it.... enjoy A member of the Mormon Church researching his family’s history was embarrassed to come across a relative named Remus Starr who 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 1883, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889." The story goes that in a family history subsequently written by this amateur genealogist, Remus' picture is scanned, edited with computer software, and cropped as an enlarged image, so that all that is seen is a head shot. The accompanying biographic sketch was tweaked 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 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 l887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In l889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
