Addie Hoyt Fargo - How I know it's' only about money

Over the last 9, or so, months I have been certain that Rosemary's contention that Addie was abused and murdered by E J was initiated by a motive to make money.  Others have also posted comments confirming they see the same motive.  It wasn't hard to figure out.  The sheer enormity of her accusations, twisting of history, invention of characters and events and false claims are abolutely ludicrous.  I could go through the Addie Hoyt Fargo blog cataloging all the errors, missteps and contradictions creating a summary, and will someday, but time doesn't permit me to tackle a task that large right now.   I've read that Rosemary is going back and correctly some of the most egregious tripe.

I'll start this conversation and hope others add in their comments.

According to Rosemary she didn't know she had relatives in Lake Mills until her (insert relative relationship here) died.  Rosemary claims she is 52 years old.  That means that for more than 50 years, more than 30 adult years, she never asked her relative about her past.  Not once in all those years was her ancestry important enough to her to sit down with an aging relative and collect the recollections of the past.  But she did find and preserve the two photo albums......and now Addie is her obsession. 

By the way, it would be interesting to find out where Rosemary's relative spent holidays......alone sounds about right since the interaction with Rosemary doesn't appear to be very often, and I'm certain it was unpleasant. 

The next step was to get to Lake Mills without spending any of her money.  She found a willing ally in the Lake Mills - Aztalan Historical Society.  Not sure what they coughed up to get Rosemary there to speak but it was wasted money.  I hope I'm wrong that any money came from the Society's treasury.

Rosemary knew that it wouldn't be sufficient to talk about the photo albums and show the pictures of Addie and the Fargos.  Since she had practically no knowledge that wasn't already recorded she wouldn't have much to say.  After a few phone calls and some help from a colleague that had some PhotoShop experience Rosemary hatched the spousal abuse angle to sell to the local historical society folks.  And thus it goes.........more than 50 minutes of fiction that was put together from a single over exposed photograph,  a willing helper with PhotoShop and a vivid imagination.  Even Rosemary isn't clamoring about this part of her story very much any longer.......she must recognize how silly the whole thing is.  Unfortunately, the local chapter of the Desperate Housewives of Norfolk ate it up....and are still performing free services to Rosemary.

Next on the list were Tom and Barry.  These two had a marketing interest in anything that might generate more business; the Fargo Mansion Inn has a link to the URL for the Addie Hoyt Fargo blog.  Since they had heard Mary Wilson say a few things it was easy to take those conversations out of context and "guide" her to say what they wanted to hear.  She was at a weaker point in her life, very trusting and may have actually believed some of what she was saying.  Rosemary seized on the passage in Mary's book which she has twisted continuously by leaving out the relevant portions about Addie's demise being a rumor.  That speaks more to Rosemary's (lack of) character and (monetary) intentions.

Since then it's been one piece of poor historical research and reporting after another.  The total body of work is a truck load of rubbish

I was able to catch her in a big time lie when she claimed in conversation with Dr. Peterson that he confirmed that Addie had not died of diphtheria, contrary to the forensic report.  I called Dr. Peterson, as did the reporter from the Lake Mills Leader, and he confirmed the call occurred but denied Rosemary's claim; standing  by the forensic report. 

Rosemary also misrepresented the events at  the cemetery when Addie was disinterred.  While there were a number of people there nobody has come forward to refute her "depth of grave" claims and inconsistencies.

From the beginning Rosemary has incorporated the Addie blog into the kit homes blog.  Driving people to that might increase the sales of her books.  And she flooded the internet anywhere she could with false information and her false accusations - all leading back to her blog site.  She even tried to incorporate popular search engine names and phrases in her blog titles to bring in more people.  Maybe it paid off............I hope not.

I could go on for hours but most of the people who read my blog have already seen and read the information I'm referencing.   I'll continue to expose the Addie Hoyt Fargo blog for what it really is.....a marketing tool for kit homes books..............and I'll act to change anything I find on the internet.  Please keep posting the URLs that refer to Enoch and Addie.
