A photo of my paternal grandmother, Addie Louise Herrington (left) and her sister Florence.

Florence was the only daughter of the five born to Jasper Monroe Herrington and Julia Ann Callaway who *was not* a twin.


Photo circa 1925

Florence seems to be a case of splendid isolation. Very charming!

This seems a lot of hassle to leave a comment - Blogger is so much easier - and I'm not anonymous - I'm Jinksy!
I wonder whether Florence felt like an odd one out?

Fine pair. Can you tell us what year it was?

Bob, I think it was around 1925.

I hope the two sets of twins and the singleton were spaced enough so that mom got a break in between!

There were about 2 years between each pregnancy - long enough to wean a child.

Lovely photo. Wow! Two sets of twins. I wonder if Florence felt left out of the "twin fun" or was happy not to be a twin.

Hi, Karen S. here from twincitiesblather@blogspot.com- and what a cool photo you picked for Alan's theme. I do adore their hairdos!

Took me forever to figure out how to comment. Hope this works. Anyway, it was interesting about how many twins were in the same family. Poor Florence, she must have felt awfully left out.

In all, my great grandmother, Julia, had three sets of twins, and 14 children.
