Little Geoffrey Thornton Taken To Knightstown Orphan’s Home.

“Goffey” Thornton, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. John Thornton, of the depot lunch room, has been taken to Knightstown, where he will live in the orphans’ home. Geoffrey is a hardy and bright little fellow and the training there should be of great inspiration to him. His parents, it is understood, have made application for admission to the state soldiers’ home at Lafayette.
