I have asked my aunt. but she's 86 years old...lives in ohio...and doesn't remember too much from back then. Her Father left her mother when she was about 6 years old. My aunt got dumped off at St. Mary's Assylum. two of her brothers got dumped at St. Joes. and her mother took up employement in the laundry room at st. joe's. She doesn't remember much about living in Fredonia. only at the orphange, and she doesn't like to talk much about that. and when she was old enough...she moved to ohio to get away from all of it. Her sister got dumped off at their grandfather's in Rochester. When I get a chance I'll go throught he Observer index at barker. thanks again!!
