Trying to fill in gaps on the Siron Family-my grandmother died in Junction City,Ks on Oct 21,1906. I already have some records-Jesse Siron-her husband,James survived with the children-paper only listed 3 children, but know they had five-The three younger were placed in a orphange in Nevada,Mo. I'm really curious as to why the father placed the children in an orphanage so far away, when, I'm sure there was some closer. This has been a puzzle to me, and I probably will not give up this search. Does anyone remember this family from this time period. Most everyone has since died, but need to know why? The paper said the family was well known-what did Jesse die of-childbirth??? she was only abt 38 yrs-did the father have some advise on choice of orphanages-and Lula might have been old enough to care for the family-young but other families have done this-I have heard horror stories what happened to the three younger children when placed in this orphange in Nevada,Mo-for my 0wn peace of mind I would like to expose all the horrors. My aunt was so frightened she refused to talk about this-they have all passed on,but I would to expose what happened in this orphanage-but wanted to know why the father placed them so far away unless he had advise from someone in Juntion City- any info would be helpful -anyone have a story on this thanks
