Resting securely cradled in his mother's arms is Craig Lyle Martin who recently, and very early in life, became the recipient of an unusual honor.  He was d e  cidedly named the 10,000th baby to be born at Sioux Valley Memorial Hospital in Cherokee since its beginning in 1917.

Little Craig is the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Burton Martin of Sutherland. He made his historic entrance into this area at 10:17 p.m. on July 13, with the able assistance of Dr. Dan Sullivan, Sutherland. Hospital Superintendent Kenneth Hobson this week visited the home of the unconcerned "honoree" to preent a refund check of mother's hospital expenses. - (Staff Photo)
