Iowa Soldiers Orphans Home report urges building upgrades
The Thirteenth General Assembly committee visits Cedar Falls home, urges five thousand dollars for building completion, four thousand for heating, fifteen hundred for school seating, four hundred for library, twelve hundred for barn and sheds, plus water cisterns and forest planting. They praise staff, note sanitary condition, and justify admitting more soldier orphans including cases of widowed fathers and adopted children.
