Q. I am looking for an church based orphanage that was in or around Wilmington in the mid 1930’s possibly though the 1940’s. My father and his brothers were there as a children. Their widowed father was still alive, but not able to take care of them. I looked in the 1940 City Directory online, but found nothing. Can you help me?
A. After making inquiries, MyReporter has been unable to find anyone who knows about that orphanage.
