The relationships resulting are unique and Joseph Crowder of Shell Knob summits the following: "My daughter is my mother because she married my father.

My children are my father's brother and sister-in-law because they are brothers and sisters to his wife. My brothers and sisters are are my grandchildren because they are children of my wife's daughter. Now what relation are my children and my father's children to each other? I pondered and wondered over this till I was all crazy and then I tried to commit suicide by cutting my throat with a boiled turnip ground sharp on a side of bacon and whetted on a cooked cabbage but failed, as I always do, because I did not subscribe for THE REPUBLICAN."
