Does anyone have a picture of St. Joseph Orphanage in the 1930s?
Any stories about how it was in 1933 - 38?
My two uncles Jim and Tom were placed in the orphanage in 1933. They were 8 and 9 years old. New to the Milwaukee area.
Their mother died and their father couldn't take care of them when he worked 12 - 14 hours a day.
It was understood that they were not to be adopted.
