I use to talk to this 99 year old man. He told me he and his sisters where on the Orphan Train. Each stop farmers would come and take an orphan or two to 'adopt' but really was to work on the farm. Some were lucky and the family learned to love them. This old man was tiny for his age…he still was when I knew him. He was the last on the train being adopted. He never saw his sister again.
