Thanksgiving at the Soldiers Orphans Home Cedar Falls
Citizens visit the Soldiers Orphans Home at Cedar Falls, praising the new American House layout, nursery and dormitories while noting shortages of furniture and outerwear. The account mentions sixty to seventy inmates aged three to fifteen, with new arrivals daily and government support for hospital cots. The piece also includes a light anecdote from an eastern post office and notes the sale of Gen R E Lee’s wife farm near Warrenton for $32,000.
