M. Kanouse. Although little has been written question as to thfe authenticity of Watertown's claims. Besides the officials and documentary evidence contained in the birth certificate on file in the courthouse, one photograph is on display at the home of the Watertown Historical Society. The babies, all boys, were born, on February 15, 1875. The father was at the time an express agent. One of the boys died the next day after the photo was taken. The last about the Kanouse quints there is no j survivor died at the age of two weeks. Three of the Watertown quints M on the same day, about a week altar the picture was taken. Due to lack of facilities for dissemination of news the event aroused ttt> tie interest in 1875.
