    3. Thank you for sending this to the list..... makes me cry... no room for two little boys...Guess people didn't have a feeling for siblings and keeping everyone together.. perhaps money and place for them was the reason, but to send two little boys out on a train by them selves ....... so sad. Yet today we find babies in trash bins, garbage pails, bath rooms, so perhaps things aren't so much different...today. At least they didn't murder their babies. [that we know of] I am surprised to see that it was happening as late as 1929! Wonder what made them stop it? Wilma Fleming Haynes gencon@harborside.com
