made an allotment to Minnie and the 2 younger children. 
Jonathan, the older child, is feeble-minded, having an I.Q. 
of 56. 
Zella, the second child of Jane Johnson, 29 years old, is 
feeble-minded. Her mental age is 6 years, 4 months. When 
18 years old she married John Hays, a feeble-minded man of 
Slack descent. By him she has 5 small children, 2 of whom 
are feeble-minded and 3 others very inferior. Zella has a 
marked speech defect, adenoids, a negroid nose, shuffling 
walk, slump, and a perpetual grin. She cannot keep her house 
and knows scarcely enough to get her clothes on straight. 
Her children are Charlie, Joseph, George, Homer, and Chester. 
The 2 older boys, who are feeble-minded, are dull-eyed, 
chuckle-headed boys of 9 and 10 years, respectively. 
The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth children of Jane Johnson 
were not seen. Gerald and David, the 2 younger ones, are 
normal. 
Pauline, the second child of Margaret, married Harmon 
Jones. She is a high-grade moron, friendly, lazy, garrulous, 
and suggestible. She has 5 children : Stella, Peter, Charley, 
David, and Leonard. David is not considered bright. He was 
taken by the draft board and kept at Camp Shelby where he 
complained of being allowed to do nothing but dig and scrub. 
One day he decided to come home, and, as he could not get 
a furlough, he came without one. He was arrested as he 
stepped from the train and wondered greatly how the word 
had reached Stonetown so quickly that he had deserted. A 
neighbor says that he always did do the most fool stunts 
of any one in the country. He is married to Vera Black, 
a second cousin. She is a notorious prostitute. Peter, Charlie, 
and Leonard were not seen. Stella is dead. 
Goldie, the fourth child of Margaret and Sam Williams, 
is feeble-minded. She was born in 1865 in the southern part 
of Indiana. When 16 years old she married Oscar Smith, a 
feeble-minded man who lived in County H. To them were 
born 8 children, not counting 3 miscarriages. In 1903, 
Oscar and Goldie tired of each other about the same time 
that Homer Jones and his wife, Fannie Jackson, were on the 
outlook for new partners, so a trade was effected. At first 
they agreed to trade even, but later, Homer Jones, finding that 
he had been cheated in Goldie, demanded that Oscar give him 
a cow to make the trade a little more fair. It seems that even
