Morlok quadruplets

The Morlok quadruplets — identical sisters born on May 19, 1930, at Edward W. Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan — were among the earliest documented cases of naturally conceived identical quads in the United States. Known as Baby A, Baby B, Baby C, and Baby D at birth, they later gained national attention for their public appearances and inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records.[1]
