I heard the church in Roseland finances the farms in the area. The church is huge for such a tiny town. I would not be surprised if they took in some orphans back in those days. You should join the local historical society (at least for one year) and take time off to do some heavy research. Maybe even do some interviews at retirement homes. Someone should still remember work farms.
