Printed in the Seneca Courier, Seneca, Nemaha County, Kansas, September 14, 1883:
New York Children’s Aid Society
. . .Last week James Mathews, resident western agent of the society, started from New York with
71 of those homeless children, and upon his arrival in Seneca, on last Friday, had but 22, the
others having found homes by the way. . . Much interest was manifested by the citizens in the
little folks as they landed at the depot, and the court house, to which they were conducted, was
packed full. The number of applicants for the only girl was large enough to place the committee
in an embarrassing dilemma, but the matter was finally settled and Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Magill took
the girl home to live with them. She will be well cared for. More girls are promised with the next
company brought to Seneca.
The names of applicants, and homes to which they have been assigned are here given. Much
credit is due the committee, Messrs. A. Wells, A. J. Felt, and J. A. Amos, for the active part they
have taken in the matter:
