14 SETS OF TWINS IN LAST 18 YEARS

The following item is reproduced from the Collinsville (Grayson County) Times:
Collinsville must hold the State record for twins. It has got to the point where it is dangerous for poor folks to get married and start life by locating in Collinsville in....residential street which is now commonly known as "Twin Street." The street was laid out 18 years ago, and since that time 14 sets of twins have been born on the street. In fact, practically every young couple that has married during that time and moved to "Twin Street" are now the possessors of either one or two sets of fine twins. Even some of the older inhabitants are getting shaky over the situation - think maybe there is some kind if a hoodoo hanging around on the limbs of the heavily wooded post oak trees.
