20 THE KALLIKAK FAMILY 



married Althea Haight, and they had fifteen children, 

 of whom more later. 



The next born of Martin Jr. was Nathan, known in 

 the community as "Daddy" (see Chart III), 1 who died 

 at the advanced age of ninety-three. He was the father 

 of six children. One of his sons was a criminal, a horse 

 thief, who also stole a flock of sheep which the owner all 

 unwittingly helped him to drive away. Three other 

 children of "Daddy" married and themselves had 

 children. These are all families about whose mentality 

 it is difficult to decide. They are all peculiar, but more 

 respectable than some other branches of this family. 

 One is dead. The sixth, a daughter, is feeble-minded 

 and sexually immoral. She married a man who was 

 feeble-minded and alcoholic. Of her six children, two 

 at least are feeble-minded. Whether her husband is 

 the father of all of the children is very doubtful. Sex- 

 ual immorality and alcoholism are prevalent in this 

 family. One of the sons married a feeble-minded 

 woman who came from feeble-minded stock. They 

 had six children, all of whom were feeble-minded. One 

 of these is of the Mongolian type, an interesting fact, as 

 it shows that this particular form of arrest of develop- 

 ment may occur in a defective family. 

 l lt is important to trace out in detail these relationships on the charts.
