Charlie and Reuben were Home Children sent in 1907 from an orphanage in England to work on a
farm in Canada. They were both 13 years old. Charlie worked in Amaranth for the Staveley family and Reuben worked for the Tremble family. Charlie was our grandfather and we know nothing
about his time in Amaranth. He was a very quiet man and did not talk about his past. We think
he was ashamed that he had come from an orphanage. If anyone has any information in old records or in the newspaper, or photos of the families and either of the boys we would be so grateful to have it. They lived in Amaranth until 1912.
