Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4EC.2ACE/733.2 Message Board Post: I know a little bit about it. The building is no more. But the cemetary where the children were buried is still here. Unfortunately it is in the middle of the Sparta Golf Course. As I am sure you are aware, the stones in the cemetary had no names, just numbers. However about 3 to 4 years ago, a women by the name of June Laxton who apparently worked at the center, found a list of the names of the children and they put a monument by the cemetary with each childs name and their number.
