[quote=Anonymous]My sister's father-in-law was orphaned in Michigan, probably in the 1930s. The parents died and there were five children. They went to an orphanage but he was sent to work on a man's farm at 16. I don't know if this was an adoption or some other arrangement. The man was abusive so he ran away and joined the army. The kids lost track of each other but one of them arranged for a reunion in the 1980s or 90s. They had not seen each other in all that time. He was an alcoholic and functioned and worked but was overall a mess. [/quote]
