Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 68, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 April 1908 — Another Girl it the Childrens Home. [ARTICLE]

Another Girl it the Childrens Home.

Another little girl has been received at the Monnett Children’s Home, she being between 6 and 7 years old, and her home being near Hammond. She is not altogether dependent, her way being paid by relatives. It has always been the aim to have the inmates of the home provided for by relatives, and to take only as many charity foundlings as could be cared for with the money available. There are frequently cases where either the father or mother Is dead, and the other required to work away from home, where the children can not be looked after. In cases of this kind It is a great blessing to be able to pay a nominal amount and have the little ones educated and cared for in a Christian home.
