 A most unusual occurrence was record ed today when Mrs. Thomas E. Kilby and her daughter, Miss Anne kilby wife and daughter of Lieutenant Governor Kilby were operated on at St. Luke's hospital for appendicitis.
 Operations for appendicitis are becom- ing everyday affairs but they are not so common that the coincidence of two members of one family being operated on in one day would not excite wide at- tention.
 Miss Kilby was operated on early this morning and her mothers operation fol- lowed as quickly as possible. Both are reported to be doing as well as could be expected.
