Greetings All: I have learned that my mother's father was in a wheel chair when his wife died in 1914 who lived with her family on Carmine St. in the Little Italy area. Three of their children were placed in Catholic orphanages because their father could not take care of them. What would the authorities do back then in terms of taking care of my grandfather? Were there homes for the handicapped or would some other relatives be required to take him in? His name is George H. Sherman who was born and probably raised in Monmouth County, NJ. It will be difficult finding his place and year of death without some assistance. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. Ken
