I'm seeking childrens' name list for an orphanage/school which was supposed to exist in Sparta, Monroe Co WI in 1890s. My g grandmother stated in a 1893 newspaper story in LaCrosse that she was putting her two sons (including my grandfather) into such a 'home' in Sparta, because she was leaving her husband who 'beat' her. Any information on this institution in Sparta is welcome. Ken Nordtvedt
