Connie, The article I referred to previously gave an incorrect location. Information received from another list member indicates the Childrens Home was east of Barnesville on the Barnesville-Bethesda Road. I apologize for the incorrect information.

The information I had was from the article I referred to. I have never been there. My Mother and 3 siblings were in the home for over a year after their Mother died. I have attached the article which was in the Columbus Dispatch a number of years ago. I have group pictures from my Mom that were taken at the Home in 1929 and 1930 if you should know of anyone that would find them of interest. Sandy On Sat, 6 Jan 2001 23:37:53 -0500 "Helen V.
