Hello Ron, You might want to check with either the Historical Society, if Butler Co., Ohio has one, or maybe old town or church records. Seems that, with the different names on that list, this might be an orphanage or some kind of foster care type of place. Only guessing, but it sounds like it might be.... I'd be interested in your findings.... Does anyone out there have any information on either Elizabeth or Samuel Howry??
