On This Date in Minnesota History: May 25

May 25, 1953 – “The first triplets born at the St. Cloud Hospital since it opened in its current location arrived on [this date]. The three boys, Bradley, Bruce, and Brian, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Everett Kranz. All three were born [within] 5 minutes of each other; the first arriving at 8:00, the next at 8:02, and the third at 8:05 pm. The 22-year-old mother stated ‘I thought someone was joking two months ago when they said I’d have triplets. Now I know better.’ Apparently the father, also 22-years-old, didn’t believe it either until he found himself ‘three times as nervous’ as most fathers.”
