Hansford: Mental Defectives in County H,, Indiana 57 
There is no evidence as to whether she has deteriorated or 
has always been in her present condition. 
June, the third child of James and Laura Brown, was 
feeble-minded, alcoholic, and immoral. Before her marriage 
she cut wood with her father and mother when they had to 
work. In her early teens she married Harvey Hancock, a 
feeble-minded, alcoholic, licentious man by whom she had 6 
children. Harvey made her work, and until the time of her 
death she washed and cleaned for people. When Angeline, 
the oldest child, became large enough, she took her to help 
clean. June died of tuberculosis in the Salvation Hospital. 
By the Stanford Revised Scale, Harvey measures 9-4. After 
the death of June, all her children excepting the oldest, An- 
geline, were sent by the Board of Children's Guardians to the 
Indianapolis Orphans’ Home. The grandmother Hancock kept 
Angeline. At first they all lived together. Then there was' 
some sort of trouble, and Mrs. Hancock with her daughter, 
Bonnie, moved out, leaving Angeline with her father. It is 
said that the home was badly kept. The Charity Organiza- 
tion Society secretary once went there and found chickens 
roosting on the bed. Neither Harvey nor his daughter worked 
but went thru the streets begging. The money they received 
was spent for whiskey. Harvey was finally arrested for rape 
on his daughter and given a long prison sentence. 
Angeline left Stonetown after her father’s sentence and 
went to her grandmother in a northern county. She already 
had a notorious reputation. She returned to Stonetown and 
married Harry Gilmore, the feeble-minded son of Harry Sr., 
who was murdered a few years ago. Harry and his bride 
lived together only about 3 weeks. She then went to a neigh- 
boring county seat, where in a short time she was arrested 
for disorderly conduct and placed in a home for wayward 
girls. In December, 1916, she came back to Stonetown and 
tried to persuade Harry to withdraw his divorce suit. He 
refused, and she applied to the authorities for help. It was 
then discovered that she had run away from the Home in this 
county seat, and she was returned to that place. She came 
again to Stonetown as soon as she was free to do so. Since 
then she has been in jail a number of times. She is now 
married to Albert Jones, the son of Emmett and Margaret. 
They live in a little house owned by the man for whom Albert
