Story from Hazel's daughter Georgia and Ina

Hazel and Lynn lived in Delaware when she was pregnant with the twins, Georgia and Benny. When it was time to give birth, she traveled to New Blaine where a small group of women helped and Dr George Wiley Robinson delivered her twins. Annie Parker Hamilton was assigned the task of "cleaning up" Georgia immediately after her birth. (Georgia was the second born of the maternal twins.) The names of the other women are not recalled.

New Blaine is a small community so it's not surprising that the delivery doctor (George Robinson) was married to the twins great aunt Mary Arrie Allen.
