Quintomom c. 1909
From the March 31, 1909 NYT:
The wife of a farmer named Turner, residing near the Forsythe County [North Carolina] line, has given birth to five healthy children, three boys and two girls. The weights of the children range from four to six pounds. All of them are living and thriving, and the mother is doing nicely. The birth rate in this family heretofore has been normal.
The quintuplex birth has created considerable interest throughout the county. People from every section are journeying to Rockingham to see the wonderful children.
No new problems, just our problems.
