Richmond Couple Welcomes Quadruplets in 1956
Laura Englehart, 34, and Edward Englehart, 32, of Sandston submit to a rare birth as their wife gives birth to quadruplets after already raising six daughters. Two boys and two girls, weighing 2 pounds 11 ounces to 4 pounds, arrived within 25 minutes and are housed in separate incubators at Johnston-Willis Hospital in Richmond. The father, a city street-sweeper, notes plans for a larger home and quips about quadruple cigars. The family, still in hospital, faces numerous diaper changes as doctors report the babies doing fine.
