At the time of their unexpected arrival, Robert, their youngest brother, was fourteen; and their venerable grandmother, Susan Van Dorston, was getting ready to celebrate, on the following day, the 81st anniversary of her birthday.
These twin tots, Mary and Martha, are finely featured and bear the names of two highly honored sisters of Bible fame. They have awakened expectations, of making eminently useful careers, and greatly increasing the joy of the whole family.
