Buckner Orphans Home Heads Largest Texas Facility
The Buckner Orphans Home near Dallas, founded in 1879 by R. C. Buckner, now serves about six hundred children on 1800 acres. The non sectarian Baptist run institution features a farm, dairy, power plant, school, church, library, and a museum with relics from Waterloo and Napoleon. The home plans to remodel into ten cottages of about fifty, each with private baths and a matron, boosting capacity and admitting more half orphans. Annual expenses near 175000 dollars, largely funded by Texas offerings, with 10-20 percent from the home’s industries and farm labor. Children follow a routine of school, play, and practical work, aiming to produce honest, law abiding adults.
