    FIRST U.S. QUINTUPLETS
    February 13, 1875 - Watertown, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

    The first well-documented U.S. birth of quintuplets was five boys born at Watertown, Wisconsin, to Mrs Edna Beecham Kanouse and her husband Edward. Though the babies appeared normally developed, one was stillborn, three died within minutes of delivery, and the remaining one survived only a few hours. Their total birth weight was 10-lb 2-oz. The doctor, and the father who fetched him arrived after the birth, delayed by heavy snow. The mother had another child several years later, and died a few months thereafter from a contagious disease contracted while caring for a sick friend. Until the 28 May 1934 birth of the famous healthy Dionne quintuplets in Canada, the longest known survival of a quint was 55 days, born in Lisbon, Portugal (1866).
