As of today...distances from Hamilton to hospitals appear to be 10 miles and more and on what kind of roads? On the other hand, there might have been a small clinic with a GP or OB doctor in Hamilton in 1989 when the little ones died? Is it common for home deliveries in Hamilton? Does a local doctor do home deliveries (in 1962, small town Alabama, our doctor made house calls and even did an IV drip on a family member on our couch)?
According to the Wikepedia site: Hamilton, 2000 census, the population was 6786
Not a big town, how many docs live/practice there? How many did in 1989?
Found the following, but how long has the "Regional" center been open (it is only 1.2 miles from center of Hamilton)? Is it open at night?:

Is it possible that Lara had her water break and immediately started having the babies and JMK did his best, having called for help? Is it possible that both Lara and JMK really wanted those babies to live and his having them die in his hands, when he was hoping to help, severely emotionally damaged him? Is it possible that something like this could have severely grieved him? Is it possible that he got upset with Lara because he was heartbroken? Don't people do strange things when there is a death, at times? Don't they have a tendency to blame someone? Did he really blame her? Where did that info come from? Did he blame her just immediately as a response in grief, or did that go on and on? If he blamed her, does anyone know why?
Also...where is the info on the naming of one of the boys as "Seven Exodus." Are we sure of that name? Do we know who chose the name?
Didn't Frank Zappa name one of his kids "Dweezle" and one of them "Moon Unit?"
