The third child of Edna and Grady Stiles Sr. Grady Stiles Sr. was a carnival worker and performer. He was billed as one of life's human oddities. Oh, that's terrible to say. There's a lot of this kind of like talk of quote unquote freaks and such. Grady Sr. was born with electrodactyly, which is a physical deformity where one or more fingers on the hands or toes on the feet are missing. Oh, okay.

This condition, though, gave Grady Sr., and it often gives people who are dealing with it, the appearance of having claw-like hands. Okay. So kind of like those of a lobster. This led to his being billed on the sideshow circuit as the Lobster Man. Now, despite being a very rare condition, it affects actually roughly one in every 100,000 babies born. Wow.

Electrodactyly ran in the Stiles family as far back as the 1840s. That's crazy. In some cases, it'll occur in both the hands and feet. But in Grady Stiles' case, it only occurred in his hands, the senior. So... When the couple's third child, Grady Jr., was born, no one was really surprised to discover that this child had inherited the condition, which was present in Grady Stiles Jr.

Because especially when it's of the hands and feet, it leads to a very difficult life, you know? Yeah, right.

And according to Rosen, their attitude was, quote, hell, if a child was born a freak, it was the child's problem, the child's and God's. Oh, okay. That's one way to look at it. Which is like, what an outlook. That's your problem, little baby. Yeah, a child that didn't ask to be brought into this world. Like, that's fucked up in a way I can't describe. In fact, Grady Jr.

's sister, Sarah, had also inherited their father's condition, but it only affected one arm and one leg. Years into her adulthood, actually, Sarah had her non-functional leg amputated and replaced with an artificial limb.
