There was a Vedell Dairy Farm just west of Knoxville on Rte. 150.

I would bet that that is the place she is looking for. Where I grew up there was an orphanage for boys and also for boys whose parents could not handle them. It was a "working and productive farm". Sort of sounds like the same kind of set up. Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: ilknox-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ilknox-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Linda Tate Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 12:01 PM To: ilknox@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ILKNOX] need help There was a Vedell Dairy Farm just west of Knoxville on Rte. 150.
