A genealogist in Columbia found that she is related to Vinnie Ream, a Christian Female College alumna who carved the famous statute of Abraham Lincoln that is located in the U.S. Capitol rotunda. Belinda Luke is the president of the Genealogy Society of Central Missouri and said traveling to a place one’s ancestor once lived is a special thing.
