Former Seneca County Historian Betty Auten in her March 1985 newsletter wrote about how Mrs. Permelia Story of Hector barged into the White House and met with President Lincoln! As I pursued my research, I found some similarities and some noteworthy differences in Gary Emersonâs article in the October 2008 Journal of the Schuyler County Historical Society. Both accounts leave little doubt that Story managed to meet with President Lincoln for a good two hours. I will leave it up to the reader of this article to decide if Story âbargedâ into the White House.

The GOP s War of the Roses | Opinion On 2/1/21 at 5:30 AM EST
As pundits ponder the looming prospect of a Republican Civil War, they instinctively draw dire analogies with the cataclysmic conflict between Union and Confederacy some 160 years ago.
But to gain a more illuminating perspective on the bitter struggle within the GOP, analysts should go back four hundred years further and consider England s violent civil strife between 1455 to 1487, later designated the War of the Roses. In its cloddish pointlessness, its exclusive, self-destructive focus on power and personality to the exclusion of any issues of lasting significance, that medieval bloodbath presaged the take-no-prisoners fight among today s Republicans far more closely than more recent, issues-based struggles like the War Between the States.
