Under Ben and Maud Whaley; Cadillac, MI. Using what I have always known to be his middle name. So in this census it is: Justin Whaley, boarder and in the margin with an arrow pointing to his name is writen "boy from children's home". I know this is grandfather, I remember hearing him speak of Ben and Maud. Not very good, when I would question, he would shut right up. He also remembered being in an orphanage before the foster home. Said it was in Detroit, MI. So I looked in the 1910 census found St. Vincent's Orphanage; Detroit, MI. Listed is a Justino Garreau - age 5, nothing more. The story Raymond said, that was told to him by Ben and Maud Whaley, was that his father died and his mother could not care for all the children (number ?) on her own. So she put them in the orphanage with the understanding they were never to be adopted out, foster homes they could go to. Ben and Maud Whaley never had children of their own. This is my brickwall. 1930 census you will find: Raymond Garrow; Elmira, Otsego Co., Michigan. D. Meyer
