She bore six children, in whom nothing extraordinary was noticed.
The last one was born when she was thirty-five years old.

Neither the births, her travels, nor her poverty, which sometimes forced her to beg at church doors, arrested the progress of the obesity.

At the age of forty she was 5 feet 1 inch high and one inch greater about the waist.
Her head was small and her neck was entirely obliterated.

Her breasts were over a yard in circumference and hung as low as the umbilicus.

Her arms were elevated and kept from her body by the fat in her axillae.
Her belly was enormous and was augmented by six pregnancies.
