Page Chronology: 2010, Orphan Train Project was started with some material collected while working on several Fay.Co.IA surnames; 2014Mar-Apr: Attempted to track numerous children reported coming on the Orphan Train with data and trees added; 2014Jun, I have forgotten where I left off in April so the page has been initially uploaded in partially completed form due to losing concentration/motivation in May because of warm weather activities, as the page represents a huge time outlay tracking and building trees for the orphans/families that someone else may be able to expand upon.
...Web page objectives: share
data, jump start others, make contacts, use a simple web page format.
...Do not trust any
tree/report data as totally valid.
Use the data to jump start your own research....the
information will the best guess at the time of working on a specific
project. Often World Connect or Ancestry trees/data were utilized as a
foundation upon which to add material gleamed from obits, articles, histories,
biographies, stories, burials, censuses and other data collected.

all to see those New York children that arrived that forenoon, there
5 boys and 4 girls from 3-12 yrs old. Ms.

Fayette Paper:
...There were three sisters, a brother & sister,
and two brothers all finding different homes, but the brother and
sister, they going to the same home, that of Mr/Mrs Forest Johnson near Randalia.
...The three sisters we understand all finding homes within six

Mr/Mrs Boland, Mr/Mrs Hutchinson & Mr/Mrs Holtsman/Holtzman.
...The brothers went near Hawkeye to
farms about 3mi apart, Mr/Mrs. Wesley W. Alley & Mr/Mrs Smock.
...One boy went to the home of Mr/Mrs John Langerman,
east of town (Fayette).
...One boy to the home of Mr/Mrs Frank Patterson.
...All were placed in the homes of well-to-do farmers.
...We understand that the demand was greater than the supply (of children) as
there were over 50 applicants and that Ms. Clara Comstock has
promised to make us another visit and bring more homeless children. Ms.
Comstock will remain here (in Fayette) until she has visited all the homes where
the children were placed and we hear that there may be a change of
homes for one or two children.

Boy, probably taken in my Wm. A. Bright
Bright, William A.
listed as
a boy named Wm. A. Bright taken in at Fayette.IA.
...This is more likely Wm.A. Bright
b.1861/KY, farming in Sec 12 & 1 of Center.Twp, taking in a boy rather than being Wm.Bright, a boy taken in, bz/2014).
...After building a tree for Wm.A. Bright1861, plus searching for a child Wm.Bright,
no child from the Orphan Train could be found that fits.
...Until further data comes along, it can be assumed Wm.A. Bright, that was farming in
sec 12 & s, just east of Donnna, in Center.Twp, took a boy from the OrphanTrain, but that the child was not raised
or adopted by the Bright, and may have moved to another family or been working

Eberhardt sisters Alice, Josephine, Pearl
...The Eberhardt sisters have been tracked to the point of
understanding their life after the Orphan Train arrival.
...Since the sisters had
children, in the master FTM file
they are being attached together to a Nicholas Eberhardt, a
possible
father, rather than to their hosting family
surname (descendent trees for their hosting surname family follow
the Eberhadrt tree). Their offspring are blood related first cousins, therefore first
cousin relatives (both blood & by adoption) may want the blood connections since none seem have been made
within the trees presently on Ancestry, 2014/bz.
...Nicholas is the only Eberhardt parental possibility found at this time, bz/2014----1900Census: Halfmoon, Saratoga.Co.NY. Eberhart/Eberhardt: Nicholas b.1855Apr/Ger (d.abt1911/NY), came to America in 1881, day laborer; married for 12 yrs (or in abt.1888) to Loratta b.1875Aug (she would have been 12 or 13 when 'married.') Loratta is listed having four children, none living (Which may indicate they were given up or taken away after the father died abt.1911.)
...The Eberhardt girls may have stayed at the Fayette House hotel with the
Edger N. & Mannie H. Humiston & five children, operating the Fayette House hotel
on the NE corner of Main/State, before moving to separate families, bz/2014.
It has been hinted they might have been with a Homiston (Humiston) family,
before/after the 1912 Orphan Train. Either way, all three girls were
raised by three separate families in the Albany/Lima & Wadena area, but within
5-6 miles from each other.
...Josephine, the oldest Eberhardt sister, listed 12yrs when arriving in
Fayette, 1912May, was taken in my the James Greene Boleyn family at Wadena. A census year indicates
Josephine went to high school for two years, which which may have been in
Fayette village. Josephine married Harry Frank Hamrick about 1922 in Fayette
village, so she probably was working in Fayette.IA at the time. Frank &
Josephine Hamrick moved to Mason.City.IA, shortely after marriage, thus
Josephine was raised in Wadena during her teen years, and perhaps spent some
time working around Fayette village before marriage.
Descendants of Nicholas (possible) Eber Eberhardt
1 EBERHARDT, Nicholas (possible) Eber b: Apr 1855 in Germany d: in NY Note 8: May 1912 Three Eberhardt sisters came to Fayette, Fay.Co.IA on an Orphan Train: Josephine1900>James Harvey Boleyn in Wadena; Alice1905>Jesse Holtzman near Albany, Pearl1909>James Green Hutchinson in Frog Hollow. Note 10: An Ancestry tree lists Nicholas Eberhadt1855 & Eliz.Unknown1880 as parents of Pearl M. Eberhadrt 1909-1993, bz/2014. Note 11: Correct or not, Nicholas Eberhart is being used as the father of the three 1912 Oprhan Train sisters to Fayette.Co.IA. Note 12: The only match found was in the 1900 census (bz/2014); Nicholas Eberhart 45/Ger. Note 14: Census1900: Halfmoon, Sartatoga.Co.NY. Eberhart: Nicholas45Ger laborer, immigrated 1881 age26; married for 12yrs (1888) to Loratta24NY who would have been 12-13y at marriage, listed having 4children-0 living (looks like a 3 marked over to a zero). Note 16: Since the 3 Eberhardt girls had families they are being linked to one father (Nicholas for now), so that any 'cousins' of the girls can locate family from the sisters, bz/2014. Note 18: To gain an understanding of where the Eberhardt girls grew up in Fayette.Co.IA, see the trees of their 'adopted' families, bz/2014.

1912Oct02, Muscatine.IA Journal, from the Marshalltown Times
Republican, "Houses Are So Good."
...There is an unconscious pathos in the following letter from Miss
Comstock, agent of the Children's Aid Society of New York.
..."you were kind enough last fall to print an appeal for homes for the Society.
Will you not aid us again? I am much interested in securing homes in you
part of the state, because the homes are so good. Respectfully, Clara B.
Comstock, Box 416, Des Moines. IA. "
...' The homes are so good all over Iowa. They are best in Central Iowa.
Are none of them lonely? Good homes and prosperity which attends upon them
are full reason for thankfulness. Not less are they charged with
responsibility. From those to whom much if given much is required.
...To be old and childless is tragedy. Weakness without a strong arm to
lean upon is calamity. None are rich enough to buy real tenderness and
affection. They are purchasable only in coin of the same mintage.
One of the most powerful kings of England lay a corpse and unattended while his
household which had feared him and fawned upon him robbed the place.
Neither power nor money can control love, and old age craves the tribute of
affection more mightily than youth.
...These homeless children wait for the call from central Iowa, where 'the homes
are so good." If your house lacks the clump of boots and a boy's boldly
whistled note, if there is no sound of a girls voice singing in the dusk, if you
have not any one of your very own to love and leave your memory and your money,
make one of these your own. Truly you take a chance of grief and trouble,
but you grasp your opportunity of happiness and it is a poor soul who cannot win
the love of a child.
...The homes are so good. Share them.
1912Oct12, Waterloo.IA Paper: Wanted:
...Wanted, a home for a bright attractive little boy of four. he has light
hair, blue eyes and is American born of Scotch descent and good parentage.

Comstock, Agent N.Y. Children's Aid Society, La Porte City, Ia.

Ms. Anna Laura Hills, agent for the CAS in New York
http://iagenweb.org/history/orphans/agents/Hill_AL.htm
and twelve children, going to Decorah where they will be adopted. They
arrived on a Northwestern train. They were met in CR by
Ms. Clara B. Comstock, agent of the CAS, who
accompanied them to Decorah.
...They were detoured over three different railroads, through some of the most
dangerous places in the flood zone and saw the horrors of the flood.
Houses were swept away, piled against a railroad bridge. Panic stricken
people could be seen in second floor windows, suffering from the cold, lack of
food, fear, the swift currents preventing rescue. In many places bodies could be
seen floating in the debris.
...Detoured trains crowded the lines. Ms. Hill stated trainmen and her fellow
passengers did their best to keep the orphans in ignorance of the disaster.
While in CR the children were not in the least frightened, and seemed happy over
the fact that they will become members of Iowa homes. They range from
7-9yrs; 4 girls and 8 boys.

1916Mar15, Algona.IA Republican: Orphan Children
Reception, will be held at Call Opera House at Algona, 1916Mar31, 2pm.
Twelve orphan children will be brought to Algona from NY to find homes.
...Ms. Clara B. Comstock, Iowa state agent for the CAS
of NY City, was in Algona last week and arranged a reception. A
committee of H.C. Adams, Dr. M.J. Kenefick, E.V.
Swetting, O.B. Murtagh, L.J. Dickinson, Frank Henderson and Wm. Shirley were
selected and consented to assist the agent in placing these children.
Application may be made to any of them.
...The most of these children come from the best
orphanages in and about NY City, and everything possible has been done to train
and fit them for the new homes they are about to enter. They are
both boys and girls, from one to fifteen yrs.
...Those that apply for a child should be prepared to satisfy the society that
the comforts of the home will be furnished, and that the child will be treated
as a real member of the family, and given the love and care of a parent, so far
as is possible. That an education will be available and the moral training
such that the will be fitted for a respectable, self supporting citizen of the
community.
...The CAS of NY, was established in 1848, and incorporated
1855. Wm. Church Osborn is now president, with trustees and other
officers some of the best men of the nation.
...Ms. Clara B. Comstock, who brings these children to Algona is one of the
visiting and placing agents, and has Iowa for her territory.
...During 1914, 557 children were placed in homes by
the CAS. In 1915, 566 children were placed.
The CAS conducts a farm school, with an average
daily attendance of 75. They care for and shelter
homeless mothers and children. They care for and have a
home for crippled and sick children, Plus finding
homes for those who are well and strong. They do not confine their work
along to NY orphans , but do local work.
Thousands of the boys and girls who have been placed in homes by this society
have made good, and are not among the leading men and women of the nation.
...This great work is being carried on in every state in
the nation. The various states have local institutions of like
nature, and the good done is beyond all estimation. A home without
children is a cold, cheerless place, and more good will come to those who open
their hearts and homes to the fatherless and motherless children who are
thrown upon the mercy of the world, giving them the comforts of the home with
the love and caresses they so much need, than many people every imagined could
exist.
...This is perhaps the first time many Algona people have been given an
opportunity to take a part in this work, and it is hoped that these 12
unfortunate little human souls will find places in some of the good homes of the
people of Algona and vicinity, as well as a place in their hearts, and where
they will be able to live and be reared in a manner that will develop them into
good respectable citizens of whom the community may later feel proud.

Do not trust as totally valid any tree/report data. Often World Connect or Ancestry trees/data were utilized as a foundation upon which to add material gleamed from obits, articles, histories, biographies, stories, burials, censuses and other data collected. My primary interest is generally the pioneer history and includes linking village and neighborhood surnames together for several of the early generations. Family connections, locations and other data may have to be speculated in order to continue a complex series of inter-related projects. My web pages are primarily personal study projects for note keeping, but can also jump start others. I have a huge number of projects started and rarely return to edit/update material unless interest is rekindled. Any web pages online are usually linked off the 'Index Page.' Numerous projects are not put on web pages but are in draft form or in the form of photo albums on the 'Photo Hosting Site.' I may have material for research use in storage, plus will/can upload other people's material if appropriate.
