Just 20 Years Ago Mapleton Press of 19Feb1880: We learn that Mrs. A.Y. Bents, living on Dr. Ordway's place near Castana, gave birth on the 12th last, to triplets -- two boys and a girl. The males survived only about 20 hours, both being buried in one coffin. The mother and surviving babe are doing well. The respective weight of the triplets were 3 pounds, while the weight of the mother was only about 100 pounds.
