Crawford county Qndiana) Democrat has
the following interesting paragraph rela-
tive to the birth of two children of the
same father, In Jennings township. "A
child was horn to couple in 1872. In
1859 tho father of this child married his
second and present wife and, in ten
years later, in 1879. child was born by
the second wife, it being the eighth
child born during the ten years of their
marriage-three premature and five
large and healthy babies. There Is Just
sixty-seven years difference in the ages
of the two children, and in this month
the father will be eighty-eight years old.
This all occurred in ,Jenning. township,
this county, The Democrat omits to say
that the name of the father is Adis0n
Williams, now reading at Magnolia,
crawford county, aud that he came to
Indiana from Pennsylvania In 1917"
