==The Story==
From 1905 to 1915, in a rural farmhouse in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, the Mailahn family had been decimated by consumption, having taken seven members of the family in as many years.  With additional members of the family falling ill, and with the second eldest son already having a morose disposition prior to receiving a head injury - the 23 year old Willie Mailahn tried to convince his remaining family that it would be better for them to all commit suicide rather than proceed through the harsh slow deaths from tuberculosis. The family did not take him seriously, and Willie decided to take matters into his own hands.
