Adeline and Adolphus were my great grandparents. Adeline died young, not long after her last child was born. Adolphus left the children with Adeline’s sister to go to work, he wrote home a few times and then was never heard from again. There are several stories about where he went and what happened to him. He worked the railroads and it seems he may have had another family in WV. If it is the same man, then he also abandoned those children when their mother died.
