Ringgold County had another birth of a baby this week - but this time it wasn't in the Ringgold County
Hospital, as was the case last week. Holly Kay KARR was delivered in the driveway of Annabell KNIGHT about
five miles south of Mount Ayr by the baby's father, Danny KARR, at about 5:45 a.m. Saturday morning. The mother,
Brenda KARR, and the baby were then brought to Ringgold County Hospital instead of Decatur County Hospital,
where the couple was originally headed. Mother and daughter were released to go home after about 24 hours
in the hospital. Holly KARR weighed seven pounds, 15 1/2 ounces, and was 19 inches long. She has an older
sister, Karissa.
