Tilly (Tillie)
Freelander
Chicago, Illinois
1900
I am looking for information regarding my great-grandmother,
Tilly (Tillie) Freelander. Tilly (8 years old) and her sister, Amanda
(10 years old), are listed as inmates at the Chicago Home for the
Friendless in the 1900 Census. That Census and one picture of her with
my great-grandfather, Henry Fredrickson, are the only things I have of
them. In the 1920 Census, Henry and Tilly Fredrickson were still living
in Chicago and had a son, my grandfather Leo. Also, it seems that
Tilly's father, John Freelander (64 years old) was living with them also.
That sums up all that I have been able to find on the family, so if
anyone has any information I would be greatly appreciative. Thank
you.

Indianapolis Orphant
Asylum
July 5, 1881 May l3, 1886
Alonzo Earl was taken when a very young child.Someone paid
$25.00 per month for his care. Mrs Earl felt unable to give him a home.
She took him to the orphant asylum.He thought his (sister?) maybe Mary
may have taken there. He did remember riding a train a distance but at
age 5 what is a distance. He thought maybe from New York? He longed to
know who he was and where he came from. It is my desire to solve this in
my lifetime. I am 73 years of age. Will compensate. Marge

Bertha, Fanny and Olive
Chamlee, Shamblee, Shabley, Chamblee
Either Dallas
Texas area or Texarkana Arkansas
1915 til
unknown
I am searching for information about the exact date of my
greatgranmother's death. Jacob l. Chamlee ( see above spellings) and
Arminta "Minnie" Lemon were married in Lamar County Texas on
Sept. 21,1897. In 1901 they were in Hugo Oklahoma as per the birth
certificate of their oldest son Henry. In the census of Logan County
Arkansas in 1910 they had Henry, Bertha(my grandmother) and Fanny. Olive
was born in 1912 in Texarkana Arkansas. Sometime before 1916 Minnie died
and Jacob tried to raise the kids. Henry was supposed to stay home and
watch the girls but would go hunting. One time he was gone and a cold
front came in Bertha aged 7 tried to lite a fire and set the house on
fire. Jacob gave the girls to a relative of Minnie's but they could not
care for them. So Jacob took the girls to an orphanage. My grandmother
remebered living there but not the name for sure or where it was she
thought Dallas. Olive was only 1 1/2 and was adopted by a family named
Liston. According to her children it was in Texarkana. Bertha and Fanny
were farmed out. Did orphanges do that? Bertha was formally adopted by
Dewey Hutson in 1922 so he could sign for her to marry him (she was only
16). They married in June 25th 1922. Bertha found all her siblings and
none of them ever remembered knowing where their Mother died or the name
of the orphanage. Can you help? They all passed away wondering where
their mother died and what ever happened to their Father.

Haynes
Ohio or Michigan?
20?
I am looking for information on my grandfather, Harry Haynes, a
full blooded Chippewa Indian who married my grandmother, Myrtle
Keeney, in Chesapeake, Ohio around 1903-4. They had two daughters, Faye
and Clyde(Carol). He was kicked off the Keeney farm by my great aunt,
Annie Keeney Adams before my mother, Carol was born. I have not been
able to find any records of Harry anywhere. I do know that many Indian
children were taken from their homes either legally or snatched by white
people and put up for adoption. Their heritage was wiped out because
being "Indian" was not socially acceptable during that
time.

Looking for info or someone who may have viewed info on The
Children's Home in New Jersey, for the late 1930's to early 1940's. My
Mother "attended" this Home quite a few times in her youth and
I was hopeful that a census or record might help shed some light on a few
family mysteries. I was able to locate, online, a census for 1900 but
that is too early for what I am looking. Thank you so much for any and
all help, advice, and suggestions.
ALL the very best to you and your loved ones. .

Henault
Ste. Rose/Laval, Quebec, Canada
1942-1944
Elzear Hainault resided at L'Institut St. Ephrem in what is now
Laval, Quebec, Canada as he had tuberculosis. This was very likely a TB
asylum. He died here in November 1944 and was returned to Valleyfield,
Quebec for burial.
Laval was developed by incorporating many small communities in the
1950's. I cannot find census records or any information about the former
towns that comprise Laval to locate where he may have lived prior to St.
Ephrem and secure an accurate date of death.
Can anyone help?

1925 to

Trying to locate orphanage(s) in or around Joplin Missouri/Jasper
County Missouri. My mother and her two older siblings were placed in an
orphanage in that area in 1925. Have contact with her older sister's
children (she is now deceased) but I am trying to find out what happened
to her older brother. He was born Jesse William Fennell, Jr., January
19, 1922 (being adopted, that may have changed slightly as my mom's did).
From vague accounts, he was soon adopted and my mother stated that she
thought he went by the name Ed Nelson (he may have gone to Oklahoma or
Kansas since Joplin is on their borders). My mother was adopted when she
was 12. She was adopted under her birth surname Fennell but the
Children's Home of Joplin does not list any children with the surname of
Fennell as ever having been there.
