This site is dedicated to those premature infants
who's lives were saved by the dedication of
    Dr. Martin Arthur Couney.


                                            
 

Were you or a family member an incubator baby at Dr. Couney's exhibition at Coney Island's Dreamland, Luna Park or one of the three World's Fairs or Expositions from the St. Louis Exposition in 1903 to the New York World's Fair in 1939-1940?

I am trying to locate all those who as premature infants passed through his incubators and like myself (Luna Park 1921), owe their lives to the skill, time and attention of Dr. Couney and his staff of doctors, nurses - headed by Madam Louise Recht - and the "wet" nurses whose milk fed our growning bodies.

If you or a family member is/was a CouneyKid please contact me.  Dr. Couney and his staff deserve recognition for their early work with premature infants and incubators.

Thank you.
