I not only have a suicide in my family (my dad's uncle by marriage) but also a "desperado" who was pursued by a posse and shot in the 1880's. A few years later this fellow's son was out for revenge and when my great-grandfather wouldn't help him he kidnapped a daughter (Gertrude) of my great-grandparents, whom he later married. This was Gertrude's first marriage, and the guy who committed suicide (above) was her second. The "desperado" (actually he was a petty thief) was a cousin of my great-grandmother. Also, my dad's aunt by marriage killed her baby in 1927 because she was afraid her husband (Dad's uncle) would find out he wasn't the father. They lived with my grandparents and my grandmother found the baby's body the next morning. It was in all the papers and made Indiana law history because it was the first case where an insanity plea was used. I put a book together last fall, just for the family, and included all these stories. My aunt thought perhaps some of it should have been left out, but it is part of our history - and you must admit - makes for very interesting reading!! Adina
