      Lexington Progress August 13, 1920
      The Dick Goff triplets, one boy and two girls, Odell, Estell and Excell, respectively, were in Lexington last Monday and attracted considerable attention. The children were four years old last April 1st and their mother died the last of February or the first of March of this year, leaving a baby five days old and another one under one year. Mrs. Goff was about 38 years old and was the mother of an even dozen children all of whom are living. The triplets are all good looking children and Dick is proud of them- as he should be.

      I have mother as Excell HARDIN but dying 1971. Excell is an unusual name so you'd think this would be right. The triplets were b. ca 1916. Mother died early 1920. Has a child b. 1920 and another one ca 1919.
