"TWINS BORN IN DIFFERENT YEARS!!"
Even though Valentine Ballard Wyatt and Adeline (Wyatt) Bixler were twins, records of their birth dates are not always in agreement. Here are two excerpts from articles printed in The Amarillo Globe, a Texas newspaper, which might help to clear up the confusion. Both articles were found on ancestry.com.
Article 1 -- Excerpt of a 1943 article about the birthdays of Valentine and Adeline, from The Amarillo Globe, October 8, 1943:
"Mr. Wyatt delights in telling the story about his birth. He and his twin sister Adeline were born in different years, Mr. Wyatt a few moments before midnight on December 31 and his sister a few moments after midnight on January 1."
Article 2 -- Excerpt of a 1944 article about Valentine's visit with his sister Adeline at her home in Waynoka, OK, where they celebrated their 75th birthdays. This article appeared in The Amarillo Globe, January 6, 1944:
"Valentine Wyatt has returned from Waynoka, Okla., where he observed his 75th birthday with his twin sister, Mrs. Albert Bixler. It took a couple of days for the celebration. Mr. Wyatt was born a few minutes before midnight on Dec. 31 and Mrs. Bixler shortly after midnight on Jan. 1. So their birth years are different."
Note: Valentine turned 75 on Dec. 31, 1943, and Adeline turned 75 on Jan. 1, 1944.
