Three Families With 73 Children.

Greentown’s truant officer has found a family having thirteen children of school ago, none of whom were in school. This is a small family, too, for that town, as David Jones, president of the town council, is the father of 20 children and Johu Froyer, now living with his third wife, has 32 children of his own and eight stepchildren, making forty to call him papa.
