STORK BROUGHT HIM TRIPLETS.
ALL OF THEM PERFECTLY
FORMED AND HEALTHY.
TWO BOYS AND ONE GIRL.
"You Could Have Knocked Me Over
With a Feather," Said Curry
When Doctor Broke the News.
Has Six Other Children.
Triplets, two boys and a girl, were born to Martin and Almeda Curry, 2548 Alden avenue, Kansas City, Kas., yesterday afternoon. The first born was a seven-pound boy, who arrived at 12:15 o'clock. At 12:25 o'clock a girl weighing six pounds put in her appearance, adn just twenty-five minutes later she was followed by another little brother weighing five pounds. By consent of the parents, Dr. T. C. Benson, who attended the mother, christened the babies as they were born.
The doctor, not anticipating so large an increase in the Curry home, had only selected two names, Boaz, in the case of a boy, and Ruth, in the event of a girl. Upon the birth of the first member of the triplets he was promptly named Boaz. Then minutes later, when the girl was born, he christened her Ruth, thus exhausting his supply of names. However, at 12:50, when the third birth occurred, he proved equal to the emergency and named it David.
Mr. Curry, father of the triplets, is a laboring man, employed by Johnson & Brown, sewer contractors. He and Mrs. Curry were married in Kansas City, Kas., eighteen years ago, six children having been born to them prior to yesterday's arrivals. There hasn't been a death in the family and all of the children are healthy, good looking and bright. The first born was Bertha, now 17 years old, then Albert, 15, Billie, 14, Clarence, 13, Lucy, 10, and Clyde, 8.
Said Mr. Curry last night, "I am mighty proud of 'em , and while it will make me hustle a little harder yet I am going to do my best to care for them properly."
Asked if twins or triplets had been born to any of his or his wife's ancestors, he said there hadn't as far back as he has the history of the family tree.
"I surely didn't expect twins, much less triplets, this time. I was surprised when the doctor anounced the second birth and when he told me of the arrival of the third one you could have knocked me down with a feather."
