OF A CERTAIN PENNSYLVANIA FAMILY. 67 



IV-107, the youngest, born 1897, is a large, sturdy fellow, good 

 worker, but also rather slow at school. His mentality on a par with 

 that of IV-106. 



Returning now to the main fraternity, we take III-51, born 1857. 

 Always dull at school, and as he grew up worked at woodchopping. 

 Ox-Uke in his stupidity and strength. Married III-52, the sister of 

 his brother's wife (III-49). She was not considered ''bright" either. 

 Eighteen years ago moved into another county, where he now owns a 

 good farm of about 90 acres. Seems to have enjoyed a belated mental 

 development which even old acquantances remark. It is said that 

 when he attended the weekly fair as a young man he made frightful 

 mistakes in prices and change. Is now self-possessed, straightforward, 

 quick in his statements, accounted a business man of fair shrewdness. 

 Physical strength and endurance prodigious. His children are: 



IV-108, born 1880. Went to school until he was in his teens, but 

 was never able to progress beyond the third grade. Now working on 

 the railroad. 



IV-Ul, born 1882. Showed little ability and interest in school. 

 Has married and lives on a farm. Has five boys (V-96 to 100) ; his- 

 tory undetermined. 



IV-113, born about 1884. Went to school with fair regularity, but 

 did not get a start until she was 17 or 18. Finished the tenth grade at 

 19 and followed it with a two-term teacher's course at the normal 

 school. Taught successfully at the district school. Now married to a 

 graduate of the normal school. He was brought up on a farm and has 

 been only moderately successful as principal of a village high school. 

 They have two little daughters, V-101, born 1911, and V-102, born 

 1913. 



The next younger son (IV-1 12) , born 1887, had convulsions in infancy, 

 and what appeared to be an attack of grippe developed into brain 

 fever, causing his death at 17 months. 



IV-1 15, the next younger daughter, born 1890, was not very fond 

 of school. Has married and lives with her husband on his father's 

 place. No children. 



IV-1 17, born 1892, is a slow, sturdy, powerful fellow. He went 

 through the grades, but did not care for more schooling. Works on the 

 home farm. 



IV-1 18, born 1898, is a rather shy, good-looking girl. Doing excel- 

 lent work in her first year high school. 



IV-1 19, born 1907, is a very active, vigorous boy, but pitifully shy. 

 Quick in his school work when he finally overcame his timidity. 



Going back to the next child of II-4 and 5, we take up III-53, born 

 1860. She showed fair ability at school. Developed into a careful
