Hi,
I checked the courthouse records and found only Gladys Ruth listed in the
birth records and it says;
Book 2, page 283, Sac County Births
Gladys Ruth McQuigg was born December 5,1916 in Schaller, Iowa to Grace
Bettin and Willis E. McQuigg.

There are other births of other children of theirs listed;
Book 2, page 281
Clifford Leonard McQuigg was born September 17,1913 in Schaller, Iowa to
Grace Bettin and Willis E. McQuigg.

Book 3, page 139 Delayed Records
Everett Willis McQuigg was born November 28,1909 to Willis McQuigg and Grace
Bettin

Book 4, page 186
Glenn Irwin or Irvin McQuigg born February 7,1939 in Eureka Township, Sac
County, Iowa to Willis McQuigg and Grace Bettin.

Death Records;
Book 5, page 4, Sac County Courthouse

Germany to William Bettin and Bertha Rogge. Lived at Schaller, Iowa.
Informant-Miss Betty McQuigg. Died February 2,1972 of a myocardial
infarction. Buried in Schaller, Iowa Cemetery.

There is an article in the Schaller Centennial Book about the family with
photo. According to the article Willis and Grace had five children;
1. Everett Willis-born November 28,1909. he died May 7,1965.
2. James Lester-born March 17,1911. Married Helen Norlin. They had two

Donald Lester born November 16,1946.

October 17,1943.
4. Gladys Ruth (Betty) was born December 5,1915. She died December 5,1981 in
Omaha.
5. Glenn Irwin born February 7,1921. Married Mavis Ann Thorton. Child-Glenn
Wayne born NOvember 3,1950.

Willis Edgar died December 10,1942 and Grace died February 2,1972 and buried
in Schaller, Iowa Cemetery.

There was nothing written about a twin. I also looked in Schaller Cemetery
records and there isn't a burial for a child of the McQuigg either.

Back to the article on them, Willis wife was Grace Margaret Bettin.

If you would like copies of any of this let me know and I will send what I
have.\
