~ The cause of the deaths of the two babies is not definitely known. They were not well on Thursday when Mr. and Mrs. Dickson visited them at the Spartanburg hospital, but it was not thought their condition was serious. Friday afternoon a telephone message received here reported that one died at 1:30 and the other at 2:30 that afternoon. Pearl, the third of the triplets, is in good health.
~ The bodies of the babies were buried Saturday in the Mount Zion cemetery in Spartanburg county, where Mr. Dickson has other relatives interred.
~ The triplets were born August 1st of this year. The two that died were just nine weeks and six days old. They had been in hospitals practically ever since their birth, having remained in the City Hospital here about two weeks before being taken to the Baby Hospital at Saluda. When that institution closed the first of September the babies were placed in the Good Samaritan hospital at Spartanburg.
