GRANT REDFERN, 72 year old prosperous farmer from the Shady Grove community, is the proud father of his 21st child, born Tuesday night, Feb. 13. His wife, who is 43, reported doing fine. This is her 11th child, being Mr. Redfern's second wife. Early Wednesday morning, Mr. Redfern left his home in Shady Grove to walk ten miles to Tahlequah to see his new child. This is undoubtedly one of the largest families in Oklahoma.
