harvie neff and his wife i believe lived
in newburg or near newburg missouri,his wife,s name was anna,she is buried in the edgarsprings cemetery,near there,she was born
1886-died-1941.
they adopted my mother ruth lodina siebert
in may of 1928 from an orphanage in
carrolton missouri,they kept my mother for
a short time,my mother said that when they adopted her that they gave her a doll with
a cradle,and that she remembered walking up to the store to get milk and pastries
for them,when they decided they didn,t want my mother anymore,they took her back to the orphanage and that,s when they took the
doll away from her.my mother still remembers
that as if it was yesterday.my mother was
finally adopted by the nolan family.i don,t
know what happened to harvie.i think it
was cruel that they took the doll away from
her.i wished i could help more with your
research.i would like to get the doll back
for my mom if it still exists today.
but i don,t think that will ever happen.
thanks very much.carla jean page.
