Four Epperson boys in Bethany Home in VA in 1920

Hello,
I just found that 4 Epperson boys (Willie Henry, Wayne,Eugene and Grant) were in the Bethany Home for poor children, Manchester,Chesterfield, Va in 1920. Their mother Leanor (Westfall) died in 1918.

Leanor was my ggrandmother's sister.

In the 1910 Census Eleanor was with her husband William Epperson in Bijou, Adams County, Colorado with 5 children, more children were born. Wayne in 1911, Eugene in 1912, and Grant F. in 1914. (all born in Colorado)

It looks like after Eleanor died in 1918, the 4 youngest boys went to the Virginia home.

The 1930 census show William in Swink,Otero Co CO with sons Wayne and Grant.


I would love to know where Lenora is buried, what happened to her husban William and especially what happened to the boys who went to Virginia. Also, there were 3 daughters, Nora, Marguerite and Dorothy.

If anyone is connected to Eppersons in Virginia maybe we have the same family.

Thanks so much,
Anna in Colorado
