Librarian:
You said the Isaiah Merchant family, right?

Sam Winchester:
Yeah, that's right.

Librarian:
I dug up every scrap of all the history I could find. So uh, are you boys crime buffs?

Dean Winchester:
Kind of, yeah. Why do you ask?

Librarian:
Well. [he pulls out an old newspaper page with the headline "New Titanic Sinks"; underneath is a smaller article titled "Father Slaughters Family, Kills Self"]

Dean Winchester:
Yes, yeah, that sounds about right.

Sam Winchester:
The whole family was killed?

Librarian:
It seems this Isaiah, he slits his kids' throats, then his wife, then himself. Now he was a barber by trade: used a straight razor.

Sam Winchester:
Why'd he do it?

Librarian:
[turning the paper over] Well, let's look. [reads] Uh, people who knew him described Isaiah as having stern and harsh temperament. Controlled his family with an iron fist, uh, wife, uh, two sons, adopted daughter, uh yeah, there were whispers that the wife was gonna take the kids and leave, um, which of course, you know, in that day and age... So instead, Old Man Isaiah, well, he gave 'em all a shave. [draws a hand across his throat in a slitting motion; Dean laughs briefly]

Dean Winchester:
Does it say what happened to the bodies?

Librarian:
Just that they were all cremated.
