The 5 younger children of Emma Kelley were not seen. 
Elmer, the youngest, lives 4 miles northeast of Kline, a tiny 
village or settlement in Township 5. 
The fifth child of the old prostitute was Mrs. Donald Bruce. 
Nothing was learned of her except that when she was angry 
she ’would get an armful of sticks and take great delight in 
breaking them over any tree or fence that was handy. Two 
neighbors say that she was crazy, but the evidence is hardly 
sufficient to verify the statement. None of her descendants 
was visited. 
The remaining children of the old prostitute died of tuber- 
culosis without marrying. 
Summary 
In the Morris-Burns group, insanity, one-half of which is 
Huntington’s chorea, an unstable, emotional make-up, which 
for the most part manifests itself in the form of uncontrolled 
temper along with feeble-mindedness, and a choreic tendency 
among the younger generation, mark the family as one from 
which the State Hospital for the Insane may expect to receive 
more patients, and one which will in the future furnish the 
makers of our community problems. 
Many members of this group were not visited and remain 
unclassified, but there are enough studied to show the tendency 
of the family. Of this family, 12 are, or have been, insane 
during their lifetime; of this number one-half of the cases 
have been Huntington’s chorea; 3 others have possibly been 
insane but the evidence is insufficient; 3 have suffered from 
what the family said was the same disorder as the older gen- 
eration, but which is probably different as there has been 
no mental deterioration, and they at times seem free of the 
malady; 12 are feeble-minded, and running thru the family 
is an uncontrolled temper which is common, more or less, 
to the whole group. 
4. The Jones-Smith-Brown-Williams Group 
About 1793, William Brown was born on Goose Creek, 
Ky. About the same time Sallie Stevens was born in Ten- 
nessee. Both families, 15 or 20 years later, started to Indi- 
ana, the Browns settling in the southern part of the state 
and the Stevens family coming on to settle on the western
