Description

Pictured here, from left to right, are Triplets Fred, James and Louis, 6 year old sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Stevenson of Birdville, Texas. They are the first triplets born in the hospital, Stamford, Connecticut. They have two sisters, Kathryn and Vonnie Ree, and a brother, Glen, all older than they. All brothers and sisters are attending the Birdville School. The triplets are shown seated at a class room desk, facing front and smiling. All three are wearing coveralls. Miss Grace Hardeman, first grade teacher and a few other teachers having problem to distinguish between triplets. Miss Hardeman can recognize Louis readily, for he has a fuller face than other two. If Fred didn't write with his left hand and have a few front teeth missing at present, she would never know him from James.
