Last Dionne Quintuplet dies

 

A souvenir photo from the 1930s of the Dionne Quintuplets and Dr Dafoe, who delivered them, at a flea market. Annette Dionne, (first from left) the last Dionne, died this Christmas Eve.  They had been made into a tourist attraction by the government of Ontario and this photo was probably sold at the home built for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionne_quintuplets
