A list of children compiled by Jane Coble of Jacksonville, Il, in 1992, plus at least one family genealogy file, indicates that 20 children were placed with Hancock County families between 1891 and 1905 from the Orphan Train.
The Society has begun a project to learn more about these children and what happened to them. As we complete each child, a separate page will be created to carry their story.
Topical files and on online at the Orphan Train page.
