From the Boyden Reporter, August 23, 1923:

Mr. and Mrs. Teeselink of Sheldon are the parents of twin babies, born last week. One of the babies died immediately after birth.

From the Alton Democrat, August 25, 1923, Boyden news:

Word has been received of the arrival of twin babies at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gerrit Teeslink. One of the babies lived only a short time but the other one and the mother are getting along nicely.

These appear to be the babies of Gerrit Henry Teeselink (age 21) of Sheldon and Henrietta Rensink (age 20) of Boyden, who were married on February 14, 1923 (Boyden Reporter, Feb. 15, 1923, and Rock Valley Bee, Feb. 16, 1923). They lived in the vicinity of Boyden until 1942 when they moved to California (see her obituary, posted separately).
