A directory published in 1937 lists Arkansas Children's Home and Hospital, 804 Wolfe St., Little Rock. It was founded in 1922 by the Rev. O.P. Christian.

The Arkansas Children's Home was listed as recently as 1979, according to page 9 of "Adoption Agencies, Orphanages and Maternity Homes: An Historical Directory," published in 1982. At one time, this book was available at the Ozarks Regional Library in Fayetteville, Catholic Social Services in Little Rock, and William F. Laman Public Library in North Little Rock.

The federal census of 1930 (and earlier) would list the inmates with their ages, etc. The 1940 census should be made public after 72 years.
