The LaGrange Reporter gives the following account of a family of dwarfs in 
Troup county: Troup county has a family within her limits, several of whom are 
dwarfs. Mr. F. M. Darnell, who lives a few miles above West Point, on the 
river, is forty- nine years of age, and is only four feet and four inches 
high. He has four children, two boys of whom inherit their father's imperfect 
stature. One is twelve years old and his stature is thirty-one inches; the 
other, age nine, measures thirty-three inches in height. The eldest of these 
two children is afflicted with malformation and disease of the spine. The 
mother is five feet high and the other children are of ordinary height.
