https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/4-children-sale-1948/
Thanks for the link.A very sad story. My grandmothers sister was in the mental ward in Toledo.My grandmother asked dad to take her to see her sister. Her sister was strangebut not crazy. Dad didn't like taking his mother because she would be depressedfor weeks. I remember going there about four times. I was ten.When grandmother passed, I asked Dad why his aunt was in the mental ward.They couldn't afford to feed both of the girls so they let one go when they bothwere young.
