From The Lima Daily Democratic Times, May 22, 1889

Childrens Home--Fortunate Outcasts.  
Good Homes Provided for Them by the Board of Infirmary Directors.

There is no more laudable institution in this county than the Childrens Home, 
and many a little waif, whose life would otherwise be one of sorrow, and 
possibly poverty, is through the teachings there instilled and the good homes 
procured for them later on, made happy.  Many have been placed with good 
people who agree to rear them, and last week the board of directors consisting 
of LEVI REICHELDERFER, S. H. ARNOLD and SAMUEL LIGHT made a visitation to the 
abiding places of the little ones who have been placed out and in every case 
found them comfortably housed, clothed and their educational needs looked 
after, and with every prospect of their growing into useful and respected 
citizens.  The following is a report of the Board:

DAISY VINSON,  14-year old girl, is living with Mr. and Mrs. SAM SHYMAN, near 
Spencerville.  They express a desire to keep her until she becomes of age.
