Rh December 18, 1957, and is 14 years of age; that her next oldest child Edward, was born January 11, 1959 and is now 13 years of age; that her next oldest child Debra Lynn, was born December 26, 1960, and is now 11 years of age, and her youngest child, Julia Ann, was born March 17, 1963, and is now 9 years of age.
