The year is 1891
No work caused August to shoot himself
In the head
At home with his wife and kids
It's said they smiled at what he did
Mrs. Fredericks, 83 years old
They found expired from the cold
Ann Moore tried to be a man
For the past fifteen years
Mrs. Olsen, of Hinkley, wanders 'round
She thinks all her children lost
Nels Petersen died in his home in the Ward
Miss Watson of Black River Falls gave birth
To a fatherless child
Then killed it
