 | | Edward Theodore Gein was born on August 27, 1906 in La Crosse, Wisconsin to a pious, Evangelical, extremist, domineering mother, Augusta, and George, his hen pecked, violent, but introverted alcoholic father, who could not keep a job. |
 | | To get away from the "depravity" of living in town, Augusta moved her family to a rural 275-acre frame farmhouse outside Plainfield, Wisconsin with no electricity, or plumbing in 1914. |
 | | In 1978 he was transferred to the Mendota Mental Health Institute where he died of cancer on July 26, 1984, at the age of 78. |
