Portrait of Mrs. Boyd Braxton and Family

Portrait of Mrs. Boyd Braxton and Family

Original caption:Mrs. Boyd Braxton, 28, passes some time with the six oldest of her eight children while awaiting the arrival of her ninth, which doctors say will mark one of the most unusual births in medical history. Wife of an automobile company worker, Mrs. Braxton gave birth to identical twin girls, Barbara Joyce and Betty Jean (not shown), eighteen days ago. She's expected to expand the set of twins into triplets "any day now." Physicians explain that she has a double uterus, which in itself is very unusual, and that pregnancy on both sides is "very unusual." With Herdare, (left to right): twins Christine and Christopher, 4; Daryl, 3; David, 2; Boyd Jr., 6, and Barry Dean, 5.
