Brant Boner@BSSBNOTES 01/08/99 10:04 AM Howdy, I have been trying to locate my Great-grandmother's lineage, but she was orphaned and it has become seemingly impossible as I can't locate the Orphanages records. Here is what I do have: Lelah Yates b. May/Sept. 1894. In 1900 TN census she is listed w/ Dempsy Eakes as follows: Dempsy Eakes b. April 1878 (Stepfather) Lula b. May 1863 (listed as having 2 children ,one still alive). LELAH YATES (5yrs) b Sept 1894. Lula was either LELAH's mother or grandmother, unsure. In 1910 LELAH is listed as living in the FANNING ORPHAN SCHOOL as a "roomer" with Dave Libscomb ( as "ward of the city"). I have been unable to trace Lelah's lineage, as she was orphaned, and I can't find her mother's maiden name. LELAH was married to JOSEPH BONER by 1920. If anyone has info, PLEASE EMAIL ME! God bless!!! Brant
