Thank you so much!
My mother told me her father gave his children to the "State" when her mother left her father. He could not take care of them and work. So they all went to Happy Valley Farm.
Each coming home at age 16. Very hard to imagine. Her mother's family was very large so it's odd they did t help out.
What is your connection with Happy Valley Farm?
You are so kind to help me.
