A Bit of History ORPHAN TRAINS TO IOWA By Madonna M. Harms From 1853-1929 a mass migration of approximately 300,000 orphan children was in progress all across America. It is estimated that 8-10,000 babies, young children and young adults were brought to Iowa from many orphanages in Boston, New York and other northeastern coastal cities. This event is referred to as the 'placing out' system. It was not a new concept as it had been used in Europe for many years prior to its use in America. This method of providing homes for orphans /children was the forerunner of foster care as we know it today. Our developing history of America deals with the rapid influx of immigrants to our country that over-whelmed our ports. We were not prepared with homes, schools, food, medical care and the needs of people who were arriving by boatloads. Eventually children of all ages were left to roam the streets, turning to any source for food, shelter and clothing. They obtained the basic needs of life by any means they could find such as singing on street corners or in bars, shinning shoes selling newspapers or flowers. While some ventured into the life of crime and were taken to jail. Not all children were full orphans. Some had one or both parents living but they could not supply the needs of the child. Therefore, the parent turned them over to the various orphanages that were being supplied by the city.

Train Of Tears Tucson Author Alison Moore Explores The History Of The Orphan Train. By Charlotte Lowe BILLY THE KID came west on the Orphan Train. So did the future governors of Alaska and South Dakota. They were three of more than 150,000 orphans and destitute children that rode the railways in search of new homes between 1853 and 1929. Their imagined experiences, full of horror stories as well as happy endings, are what Tucson author Alison Moore and Arkansas bluegrass musician Philip Lancaster recreate in Riders on the Orphan Trail . Written and performed by Moore and Lancaster, it's theater that combines their talents in ballad, short story and lullaby. In one song they take you along on the Orphan Train, "a cradle rocked by iron wheels." Moore and Lancaster give hopeful yet wary voices to those prospective foster children in the refrain: "But maybe this town will be my home. Maybe someone will call my name. Maybe I'll be riding forever, riding on the orphan train." Together they tell the story of thousands of urban children that were "placed out" during an 80-year experiment in child relocation and rehabilitation. Moore said this system began as a philanthropic effort of The Children's Aid Society of New York.

67. Orphan Trains To preserve and document the history of orphan train riders, Mary Ellen Johnson founded the orphan Train Heritage Society of America in 1986. http://www.nebraskahistory.org/sites/mnh/orphans/

NSHS Home Sites Between 1854 and 1929 more than 200,000 children rode "orphan trains" from Eastern cities to the Midwest and West to be placed in foster homes. The Children's Aid Society in New York City initiated the program in an attempt to provide wholesome homes for orphaned children who might otherwise face a life of poverty and crime. In fact, many of these children were not orphans at all, but had parents who were unable to care for them. Some orphan train riders found loving families and were adopted; others were regarded as cheap labor and worked long hours at home or in the fields. Changing attitudes toward keeping families together, new state and local laws funding foster care and prohibiting out-of-state placement, and child labor legislation brought about the end of the orphan trains in 1929. To preserve and document the history of orphan train riders, Mary Ellen Johnson founded the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America in 1986. The society sponsors reunions and publications, offers a website, and maintains a research center in Springdale, Arkansas. Harper's New Monthly Magazine , August 1873, praised the "placing-out system" of the Children's Aid Society in New York as "an ingenious effort for the benefit of the destitute children of the city."

Friday, May 7, 2004 WWW www.sedaliademocrat.com From the Friday, May 7, 2004 issue: Exhibit puts human face on migration of children looking for families By ron jennings the sedalia democrat Exhibit puts human face on migration of children looking for families By ron jennings the sedalia democrat Theirs was an unforgettable saga in railroad and American history. From 1853 to 1929, several hundred thousand young orphans and other youngsters, primarily from New York City, were sent west on trains to midwestern and far western families who adopted them. A month-long display in the Katy Depot, 600 E. Third St., puts a human face from the Show-Me State on this migration. It begins by tracing the program's roots back to the 1840s and the potato famine that led thousands of Irish people to come to the United States. The Irish faced discrimination upon their arrival. This scene was repeated later in the 19th century with Germans and Italians. According to the display, the average immigrant had $12.16 upon arrival in America. This created "an unfailing supply of homeless children." Child labor in factories and industries ran rampant, according to the display. Using photographs by famous documentary photographer Jacob Riis and others, the opening panels depict scenes such as homeless children sleeping on Mulberry Street, a notorious location in the lower east side of Manhattan.

Horizon Section The Orphan Train By Andrea Warren Special to The Washington Post As an adult, Winefred Lorraine Williams learned that she was placed in a New York City orphanage soon after her birth in 1922 because her unmarried mother feared the wrath of her prominent family if they discovered that she had a baby. Williams still remembers the stern caretakers at the orphanage, her thin clothes and constant hunger. Then a train ride changed her life. In 1926, Williams and 13 other orphans were scrubbed, dressed in new clothes and put aboard a westbound train at Grand Central Station. The children were not told where they were going or why. They had no idea that they were on an ''orphan train'' or that they had become participants in the largest children’s migration in history. Between 1854 and 1929, an estimated 200,000 American children—some orphaned, others abandoned, all in need of families—traveled west by rail in search of new homes in a novel ''placing out'' movement. When Williams’ train reached Kirksville, Mo., the children were taken to a crowded local church and told to sit in chairs on the stage. An old man with a white beard approached the small, fair-haired Williams and pointed a bony finger at her. ''I’ll take that one!'' he boomed. ''My wife is sick, and I need someone to wash the dishes.'' Terrified, Williams refused to go with him. A music professor and his wife saw what happened and began talking gently to her. Would she like to be their little girl? Williams consented, and in that moment, she acquired loving parents.

About CAS Donate Volunteer Pressroom ... Home Your location: About CAS Orphan Train Movement The Orphan Train Movement The children ranged in age from about six to 18 and shared a common grim existence. Homeless or neglected, they lived in New York City's streets and slums with little or no hope of a successful future. Their numbers were large - an estimated 30,000 children were homeless in New York City in the 1850s. Charles Loring Brace, the founder of The Children's Aid Society, believed that there was a way to change the futures of these children. By removing youngsters from the poverty and debauchery of the city streets and placing them in morally upright farm families, he thought they would have a chance of escaping a lifetime of suffering. He proposed that these children be sent by train to live and work on farms out west. They would be placed in homes for free but they would serve as an extra pair of hands to help with chores around the farm. They wouldn't be indentured. In fact, older children placed by The Children's Aid Society were to be paid for their labors. The Orphan Train Movement lasted from 1853 to the early 1900s and more than 120,000 children were placed.

Some were abandoned. Other children who rode orphan trains had parents who could not support them and gave them up hoping they'd have better lives. Some accounts describe finding loving families, while others were overworked or suffered abuse. Orphan train riders overcame incredible odds and emerged as heroes of modern history.
