Show Sextuplet at 77 Mrs. Alincia Bushnell Parker, one of the sextuplets born to Mrs. James Bushnell of Chicago In 1863 before the days of ballyhoo and press agentry. Today that event would blot out war headlines, but something misfired in 1863, and the world knew little of that authentic, amazing event. Fame and fortune passed them up, and today Mrs. Parker, a white-haired woman of 77, lives on a meager pension at Silver Lake, N. Y. She is a widow and the mother of seven children. Mrs. Alice Hughes of Phoenix, Ariz., Is the other surviving sur-viving sextuplet. |
