My ggrandmother Belle Dora Faulk,maiden name Myers lived in Atchison County in late 1880s. Evidently her husband, William R. Faulk left her with 6 children sometime in the 1880s. My grandmother Mary Jane was placed with a family named Siebert north of Bonner Springs, a Thomas was placed in The Old Soldiers Orphange May 20, 1898. Belle Dora was listed in 1887-1888 Atchison City Directory as Miss Dora Myers, living with a Fannie Myers, A.W., Fred & HJ. On Sept 20, 1894 she married a Harvey or Henry Kelsey.
There has been no record since.
