1870 ca , USA : The celebrated Thai-American born conjoined SIAMESE TWINS Chang and Eng BUNKER ( 1811 - 1874 ). Born near Bangkok, in 1829 Robert Hunter, a Scottish merchant, saw the twins and realized their potential. He paid their parents to permit him to exhibit their sons as a curiosity on a world tour. When their contract with Hunter was over, Chang and Eng went into business for themselves. In 1839, while visiting Wilkesboro, North Carolina ( USA ), the brothers were attracted to the area and purchased a 110-acre farm in nearby Traphill . Determined to live as normal a life they could, Chang and Eng settled on their small plantation and bought slaves to do the work. Famous and very rich , using their adopted name BUNKER, they married local women in 1843. Chang wed Adelaide Yates (1823-1917), while Eng married her sister Sarah Anne Yates (1822-1892). The twins also became naturalized American citizens. The couples shared a bed built for four in their home. Chang and Adelaide would become the parents of eleven children. Eng and Sarah had ten. During the American Civil War, Chang's son Christopher and Eng's son Stephen both served in the Confederate army. The twins lost most of their money with the defeat of the Confederacy and became very bitter. They returned to public exhibitions, but this time they had little success. In 1870, Chang suffered a stroke and his health declined over the next four years. He also began drinking heavily (Chang's drinking did not affect Eng as they did not share a circulatory system). Despite his brother's ailing condition, Eng remained in good health. On January 17, 1874, Chang died while the brothers were asleep. Eng awoke to find his brother dead and cried, " Then I am going ". A doctor was summoned to perform an emergency separation, but he was too late. Eng died approximately three hours later. - VAUDEVILLE - MAN - MEN - UOMO - UOMINI - FENOMENO DA BARACCONE - FREAKS - GEMELLI GEMELLE SIAMESI - SIAMESE TWINS - CIRCO - CIRC
