Montreal's short-lived Siamese twins

   Joy Savage 8, shy baby Nancy Savage 6, father Donald Savage, 31, and James Savage, 9 of St. Michel were home when Elizbeth Savage (their mom, 31, not in photo) gave birth to triplets March 26, 1954 at Montreal's Catherine Boothe Hospital.
   Two of the babies, Janet Savage and Janice Savage, had skulls joined Siamese style. They became progressively weaker and died April 16, 1954. The third child, black-haired Mary-Anne, survived. We don't have photos of the twins but this is the family they were born into.
   The Savages lived in a small apartment in St. Michel on Donald's modest income as section manager of a downtown retail store.
