All these Crims belong to one family.

" During the Great Depression
of the 1930's, Kilgore was an agricultural and lumbering town
with a population of 500. Discovery of oil on two nearby farms
belonging to Daisy Bradford and Lou Della Crim made Kilgore a
"boomtown" with thousands of people flocking to the
area to find jobs and a share of the wealth ensued." (http://www.theaterror.com/pages/the-crim-theater)
