Roland Thornton was my uncle, older brother of Dorothy Kenneth Thornton. Dorothy was born April 2, 1914. She told me of the orphanage. I do not know when she was sent there or how long she stayed, but it was a horrible experience as she recalled. The story behind it as told to me was that their father Miles died and Alma needed to work to survive. Alma was a nurse (she also had a club foot), and there was no one available to keep Roland and Dorothy when she worked. Incidentally, my mother Dorothy passed away July, 1993. Hope this information is helpful. Feel free to contact me! Thank you. Becky Bryant Kiser, Roanoke VA
