DEATH TAKES LAST OF GARREY TRIPLETS

Death, shortly before noon today, took the last surviving member of the triplets born Wednesday at McKennan Hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Garrey, Larchwood, Iowa.

The three sons died in the order in which they were delivered. The first born, who weighed two pounds, three and a half ounces, died Wednesday ; the second born, one pound, 13 ½ ounces, died at 11:30 p.m. Thursday; and the third, who weighed one pound, 11 ½ ounces at birth, died at 11:15 a.m. today.

The triplet birth was three months premature and the children were given little hope of survival by the attending physician, Dr. Otto Hanson, Valley Springs, S.D.

The triplets were the sons of Ronald Thomas Garrey Sr., and Hilda (Witt) Garrey
