My grandfather, Willard S. Snow and his sister Maude Snow were placed in "The Home For the Friendless" in Atlanta sometime between 1898 and 1910. The story goes their mother (maybe named Henrietta) came to see them once and was never heard from again. The orphanage burned and only two journals remain (not listing them). The two show up on the 1910 Census for Schley Co. Georgia as adopted and living with Frederick Rainey. Mr. Rainey was Thomas Frederick Rainey of Ellaville, Schley Co. Ga. and a member of Legislature at the time. Turns out Willard Snow married Mr. Rainey's grandaughter, so my grandfather was raised by my grandmother's grandfather.... such is genealogy. As far as I know Maude Snow married a man named Knox Hale. The only information other than that is Willard Snow was born approx 1898. An according to his tale, he made up his middle initial. If anyone can give me any leads it would be a big help. My sister and I have exhausted all avenues of search, including no records being found of the adoption. Regards, Linda Snow Davis
