I've been told that if a child were up playing in a barn loft, or maybe on top of a shed roof, if the father (any COTFB member) said "Here, jump and I'll catch you" the child would not move knowing that their father was tricking them into jumping and getting hurt.
There would be no follow up trip to the doctor afterward either.
Not too long ago Dillinger's dad's place near Paragon IN was for sale. Thought about bidding on it.
Always something to learn here. Got on to Google and sure enough the COTFB were there and it was Morris, the founder, an Englishman of a break away sect from the Mormons. Violence marked their passing.
A bit of a far cry from Dillinger himself, but also tracked down his ancestry. Mathias Dillinger came from Alsace-Lorraine in Europe. To the United States in the early 1800's. German and French people there. Old John Dillinger,(1864-1943), Dillinger's father, very prolific. Fathered children up to 47 years of age.
I must find out whether the press will try to interview Dillinger's descendants.
