    1. Re: [MOJEFFER] Two-Headed Baby Born at DeSoto to Lola Williams

    3. This is a little scary, I have a great aunt who was named Lola Williams about the right age to be this Lola Williams. Since no husband was mentioned I would guess she wasn't married. Mom once told me Lola had had a illegitimate child. Of course, there was no mention of a two headed baby. But my mother probably didn't know as she wasn't born till 1915. If anyone has any info on this please forward to me also. Thank you, Darlene

    3. I have been digging around on this, but nothing yet, 2 headed babies must have been rare... I did find this, and it could be totally unrelated but thought you might like to hang onto it just incase, it lists that there is a photo graph in an album of a two headed baby. Don't know if there is more info on where the baby came from http://www.sandiegohistory.org/photocollect/palist2.htm#258 PA 258 & PA 259 Walter Ipsen/Calfornia-Pacific Exposition Photograph Albums, 1935- 1936.
