Look Back ... to triplets born at Anniston Memorial, 1949
April 26, 1949, in The Star: Opened less than five years ago, Anniston Memorial Hospital has now played host to the birth of triplets. The young’uns were born during the lunch hour today to Mrs. H. L. Green of Jacksonville, while her 42-year-old husband waited outside. Miss Frances Hammett, superintendent of nurses at Anniston Memorial, reports that the mother and three infants are “doing fine.” As fate would have it, the couple just a month ago moved into a new four-room house to get ready for the single child they were expecting. The two bonus kids were apparently a surprise. No names were made available to Anniston Star writer Elise Ayers, but she did learn that the two boys weighed a little over six pounds each at birth and the girl weighed a little more than five pounds. The couple already have two grown children, ages 18 and 20, so maybe some free babysitting will be available! The article doesn’t make clear what resources the family has, but it does mention that Mr. Green is a student at the Veterans Trade School in Jacksonville. Also this date: The Anniston Pilot Club will install officers for 1949-50 during a ceremony this evening. The slate includes Mrs. Roy Britt, president; Miss Nellie Gauntt, first vice president; Miss Elizabeth Wheeler, second vice president; and Mrs. Robert Stone, corresponding secretary.
