The Christian Home Children's Orphanage
1910 Census
Orphans and some staff workers at The Christian Home orphanage
in Pott. Co., Council Bluffs, Iowa, extracted from the 1910 census.
The Christian Home was founded by The Rev. and Mrs. J. G. Lemen in 1882, receiving children
between the ages of 2 and 15. By 1883, there were about six children being cared for,
but by 1886 that number grew to more than 40. By the time this 1910 census was taken,
the home housed around 50 to 100 children at any given time. In addition, in 1910, the
home was operated by the son of Rev. Lemen, H. R. Lemen and his wife who occupied a home
near the orphanage. Florence Stephan, a niece of Rev. Lemen, took over operation in 1920.
The facility is still in operation today, although it operates under the name of Children's
Square U.S.A., continuing to do the good works started by the Lemen family.
Note: Data was extracted from the 02 May 1910 census, Pottawattamie County, Kane Township,
Sheet 13A, E. D. 134, pages 104 through 106. Although children were housed in dorms grouped
by age, the census list has been merged here so that you can better determine family connections.
