In Bethany, where the Nazarene College is now I think, there was an
orphanage, goes back beyond first half of the past century, just not sure
how far back. Do not remember name. Had a friend in 50's who lost custody of
her children and they were placed there by Catholic Church and adopted out.
May have been a Catholic Orphanage.
Census records for 1910 and 1920 should show orphanages in their listings.
Or City Directory.

> Does anyone know of the orphanage she is talking about ? Kind of a wild
shot here, there may have been many such places during that time period.
Any input greatly appreciated.
