Wright, Joanne Marie (1966 New Year’s Baby)

 

The New Year baby at Memorial Hospital in Neillsville is Joanne Marie Wright.  She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Wright of Rt. 3 Neillsville.

 

She arrived late - when the New Year was within 23 minutes of completing its fifth full day.  But, even so, she arrived about a month earlier than she had been expected.

 

Joanne Marie was the smallest of the New Year babies to date. She weighed just three pounds and nine ounces - half the weight of many full-term babies. She was 17 inches in length.

 

Joanne Marie was place in an incubator, where she is picking up weight rapidly. There is nothing wrong with either her appetite or her disposition, and she is a current pet of Miss Paula Mueller, head obstetrical nurse.

 

She is healthy, and has a sunny disposition.  In fact, she started to cloud up only once when the photographer was there to take her picture. She quieted quickly at the urging of Miss Mueller and it was difficult to snap the camera shutters when she had her eyes open.

 

Joanne Marie is the third child in the Wright family.  Her mother has returned home; but Joanne Marie will remain in the hospital until she puts on a little more weight.
