Duggars Lease a Home with History

To be close to their 19th child, Josie Brooklyn, born three months premature, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have leased a house in Little Rock, Arkansas. The home is the historic Cornish House, built in 1919 by Ed and Hilda Cornish. Born as Brunhilde Kahlert, Mrs. Cornish started the state's birth control movement after the death of her husband. Her efforts paved the way for the establishment of Arkansas' Planned Parenthood Association. On the contrary, the Duggars believe that children are a blessing from God and desire to receive all the gifts He is willing to give them. They are thankful to have found a house to accommodate their large family, no matter what its history is.

    I am so pleased the Duggars have leased the Cornish House so they can be closer to Josie while she grows strong! "All things work to the good for those who love God and are the called according to His purpose."

    First of all I would like to say, thank God that baby Josie is going strong. It is truly astonishing to see the many miracles that God blesses our lives with. I am also so relieved to hear that Michelle is doing better as well. I just finished watching Josie's delivery and I have cried my eyes out for what the Duggars are now facing. My prayers are with this family and may God continue to bless them.

    Prayers for the Duggars, little Josie, and for their success in 'exorcising' the Cornish house. Maybe the historic house will get a new plaque: "The Duggars were here"

    Almost considered poetic justice for them to live in a home with such historical stature...LOL

    Hilda Cornish was involved in a Eugenics movement against the black race, not whites.
