Orphans Home
1920

Page created February 7, 2007

The Orphans Home housed only children along with the persons necessary to the upkeep of the institution. All the children of age are attending school. There are a total of 25 children, 2 governess, 2 servants as well as the manager & his wife, the matron along with their daughter.

The listing below contains the orphans listed there on January 28, 1920. I don't say this with any certainty, BUT given the year of 1920~ it is not inconceivable that some of these children were orphaned during the influenza epidemic of 1918.
