A 22-Year-Old Mother of 10 Children!
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Stanislaus Spychalski, proud parents of 10 children. Married at the age of 15, Mrs. Spychaslski had quadruplets, a set of twins, a set of triplets, and once gave birth to a single child, a son. She had an aunt who gave birth to quintuplets.
In this picture Mrs. Spychalski—ever the vigilant mother—is seen holding the recently-born quads while keeping her eyes peeled on the other six children.

Although only 22, Mrs. Spychalski was obviously an experienced mother at an early age. No wonder this newspaper article concludes: "Mrs. Spychalski is considered a marvel by medical men, and her interesting family has received a great deal of attention from them and from others."
