could probably pass a seven or eight year Binet successfully. 
To sum up his traits, we can say that Luke is alcoholic, feeble- 
minded, and partially dependent. His home is simple, con- 
sisting of 2 rooms rudely furnished, very dirty and buggy. An 
interesting thing to note about his family is that his children 
are all less intelligent than himself or his wife. Also that 
Stella, the oldest, is the most intelligent of them, that Nellie, 
the youngest living child, is the least intelligent, and that the 
last 6 children died in infancy. 
Stella McHaley Grubb Barton, Luke’s oldest child, is 
feeble-minded. She is tall, thin, anaemic, and tubercular. She 
does not know her exact age but thinks that she will be 52 
years old “when the blackberries get ripe”. She lacks motor 
coordination, so much so that when she talks she uses all the 
muscles of her neck and face. She first married Andy Grubb 
by whom she had 5 children : Mamie, Lucy, Grace, Andy, and 
Elizabeth. He was sentenced to th^ state prison in 1898 for 
Stella. Goldie. Andy Grubb.
