The orphan boys sent out by the Children's Aid Society, of New York, arrived
in Emmetsburg on Friday, of last week, and were met by the local committee,
Messrs.E.S.Ormsby, John J. Robbins and John H.Hinkley . There were seven of
them, four or five of them were of German descent, speaking very much
broken. They found homes as follows : With James Scott of Emmetsburg
township : Z.F.Dickinson, of Walnut : Chas. McCormick of West Bend :
G.H.Pendlebury , of Silver Lake : Hugh Butler, of Vernon : R.B.Skinner, of
Emmetsburg : J.M. Hovey, of Silver Lake. This array of names is guarantee
that the boys have all found pleasant homes and kind people who will do well
by them. The committee informs us that more boys are coming, and any person
wanting one should make application at once to the above committee.
