Biography

Childhood

Gein was born to George P. Gein (1873 – 1 April 1940) and wife (married Vernon County, Wisconsin, 11 December 1900) Augusta Lehrke (21 July 1877 – 29 December 1945, daughter of Prussian immigrants Friedrich Wilhelm Lehrke and Amelie Fregin) on August 27, 1906, in La Crosse, Wisconsin.^[2][3] His parents, both natives of Wisconsin, had two sons, Ed and his older brother, Henry G. Gein (1901 – 1944). George Gein was a violent alcoholic who was frequently unemployed. Ed and his mother died, aimless father, as did Augusta, who treated her husband like a nonentity. Despite her deep contempt for her husband, the atrophic marriage persisted, since divorce was not an option due to the family's religious beliefs. Augusta Gein operated the small family grocery store and eventually purchased a farm on the outskirts of another small town, Plainfield, which became the Gein family's permanent home. 1873 (MDCCCLXXIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ... is the 91st day of the year (92nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Augusta Gein moved to this desolate location to prevent outsiders from influencing her sons. Gein only left the premises to go to school and his mother blocked any attempt he made to pursue friendships. Besides school, he spent most of his time doing chores on the farm. Augusta Gein, who was a fanatical Lutheran, drummed into her boys the innate immorality of the world, the evil of drink and the belief that all women (herself excluded) were prostitutes, whores and instruments of the devil.^{[citation needed]} According to Augusta Gein, sex was only for procreation.

With a slight growth over one eye and an effeminate demeanor, the young Gein became a target for bullies. Classmates and teachers recall other off-putting mannerisms such as seemingly random laughter, as if he were laughing at his own personal joke. To make matters worse, his mother would scold him whenever he tried to make friends. Despite his poor social development, he did fairly well in school, particularly in reading and the study of world economics.

Gein tried the best he could to please his mother's dictative orders, however she was rarely pleased with her boys.

During their teens and throughout their early adulthood the boys remained detached from people outside of their farmstead and had only the company of each other. Abuser redirects here. ...

Deaths of family members

Ed Gein's father, George, died of a heart attack in 1940. After the death of their father, the Gein brothers began working at odd jobs to help their mother and the farm. Both Gein brothers were considered reliable and honest by people in town. While both worked as handymen, Ed Gein also frequently would babysit for neighbors.

Henry Gein began to reject his mother's viewpoints and worried about brother Ed's attachment to her. He would speak ill of her around his brother. Ed Gein worshipped his mother and it may have been Henry Gein's rebellion that led to his death in 1944.

On May 16, 1944, a brush fire burned close to the farm and the Gein brothers went out to fight it. The brothers were reportedly separated and as night fell, Ed Gein supposedly lost sight of his brother. When the fire was extinguished, Ed Gein reported to the police that his brother was missing. A search party was organized, yet Gein lead them directly to his missing brother, who lay dead on the ground. The police had questions about the circumstances under which the body was discovered. The ground on which Henry Gein lay was untouched by fire. He had bruises on his head. Despite this, the police dismissed foul play.

Arrest

Police suspected Gein's involvement in the disappearance of a hardware store owner, Bernice Worden, in Plainfield on November 16, 1957. Upon entering a shed on his property, they made the first discovery of the night: Worden's corpse. She had been decapitated, her headless body hung upside down by means of ropes at her wrists and a crossbar at her ankles.

Gein eventually admitted under questioning that he would dig up the graves of recently buried middle-aged women he thought resembled his mother and take the bodies home, where he tanned their skin to make his possessions.

Trial hearing

Gein was found mentally incompetent and thus unfit to stand trial at the time of his arrest, and was sent to the Central State Hospital (now the Dodge Correctional Institution) in Waupun, Wisconsin.
