Remarkable twins fool husbands with near identical looks
In Springdale Massachusetts Mrs Coombs and Mrs Turner, twin sisters born 1825, long lived as near doubles. Their likeness caused frequent mistaken identity with Mrs Levi Lombs and Mrs Josiah Turner. They recall shared clothes and alike behavior. Frances Coombs and Florella Turner married men in Lisbon and raised families while maintaining identical appearances and voices.
