Oklahoma City Baptist Children's Home

This picture has haunted us for years. We knew that it had to be an orphanage that the children were in. We have been looking in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi, all to no avail. Then another stroke of luck, we spotted this building on the web site for the Oklahoma Baptist Children's Homes. Again, Asa and Sinia were found in the log. They were signed in by their mother in 1903. According to the record Opal was residing in El Reno, OK. Even though their father is still living, they are listed as half orphans and available for adoption! Opal signs them out in 1909.
