Lucille Conlin Horn weighed barely 2 pounds when she was born, a perilous size for any infant, especially in 1920. The Brooklyn-born woman, who later moved to Long Island, died Feb. 11 at age 96, according to the Hungerford & Clark Funeral Home. He never accepted money from the tiny babies’ parents but instead charged oglers admission to see the babies struggling for life. She said in 2015 that when her sister died, doctors told her father to hold off on a funeral because she wouldn’t survive the day. After a funeral Tuesday, she was buried at the Cemetery of the Evergreens in Brooklyn, next to her twin sister.
