WILSON

My Grandmother Mabel Louella ( ? ) Wilson was born in Harper County on 24th, March 1877. Her parents either died when she was an infant or she was abandoned. She was raised in an orphanage supposedly near Parson, Kansas. I have spent several years trying to obtain information without any luck. She used the name Morris on her marriage certificate, but I believe that name was not her true maiden name, and actually belong to a family that she resided with as a child. She always stated she had a brother also born in Harper County. She married David S. Wilson from Sumner County, Kansas in 1898 and died in Wichita in 1962. All of her living children have the same limited information and state she never knew her parent's names. PLEASE HELP.
