Thank you SO much for sending this --- Elizabeth WILDE DANIEL is the widow of Lyle DANIEL, (son of, I believe) Chester Lafayette DANIEL of Dade Co, MO........I visited with Elizabeth the year after Lyle died and she told me some of her story, but unfortunately, at the time I had no idea what the Orphan Train was, so really missed out on a great opportunity to ask loads of questions. Chester Lafayette DANIEL and my GG-G'fa John William DANIEL (m Martha Ellen HAMPTON) were brothers. She's looking GREAT!!!
