Bucklin Twins

Siblings Day was this week so Twins seems like a good topic. My Great Grandparents Addie Hine and Louis Bucklin had two sets of twins.  Clarence and Fred were born October 2, 1907. Roy and Ruth born March 25, 1915.

I was lucky to be able to scan lots of both Roy & Ruth Bucklin’s photo collections years ago and found some good ones for today.  Be sure to pay attention to what Roy & Ruth are wearing.

I don’t have much of Clarence & Fred when they were young, but I do have their Bucklin Brothers Nursery Price List and Van was able to find me a photo of them together.

Edna told me, “Fred and Clarence were identical twins. Teachers couldn’t tell them apart. They put red and blue ribbons on them to tell the difference, but the boys would switch the colored ribbons.”
