1930 Arkansas Baptist Orphanage Census

Note from Bert Mullins (garden_valley@geusnet.com): (1910 Census) Mary B, William H, Trudie L and Sallie Caple are siblings. They were born in Ferguson Township, Yell County, Arkansas. Their parents were William H. and Sadie Caple. He was born in Mississippi in 1868 and she in Tennessee in 1882. Mary B. Caple married my great uncle, Claud Mullins. I believe they were likely married in Monticello in the 1921-1924 time frame. They had no children. Mary died in 1976 and Claud in 1987. Both are buried in the Adams-Singer Cemetery in Warren. I have not researched Mary's siblings or parents and do not know what became of her parents or the reason the children came to be orphans. Any information on this family appreciated.

Note from Melissa Emerson (melissaemerson@yahoo.com):


I don't know if this will help or not but I have information on the

following people that were on the 1910 Census for Arkansas Baptist Orphans Home, Monticello AR.



Patrick H. Anglan  mw  12  no record kept



Rosetta Anglan  fw  8  no record kept



Jennetta Anglan  fw  8  no record kept



May Anglan  fw  7  no record kept



All four individuals were born in Alma AR. Sebastian County.  The name

should have been Anglen. Sometime between 1910 and 1920 the name was

shortened to Angle. We're still not sure if that was something done

intentionally or if it was a clerical error.

Articles below were submitted to Drew County Mailing List by Jann Woodard


Ark. Gazette Oct. 6, 1896:



It is often said that a prophet is without honor in

his own country.  It is equally true that our home

people do not fully appreciate the significance of one

of their grandest institutions, an institution which

will give us a state reputation for benevolence and

enterprise.  Such an institution we have in the

Orphans Home, under the control of the State Baptist

Association of Arkansas.



Situated on an elevation gently sloping in all

directions, with a park of magnificent oaks to the

south "far from the madding crowds ignoble strife," it

presents to the observer an air of calm repose.  Here

the homeless and the orphan, weary of the buffeting of

a cruel world may find rest and support near to

nature's heart.



Although the present building is not commensurate with

the plans of its founders, it is yet a good beginning.

 It is a two-story brick, 20X60 feet, with six large

rooms.  This building is now completed and there is an

amount of only $40 due on the same, which ought to be

raised right away.  This building the board intends to

be an "L" of the main building, which they hope to

build later.



Eighty acres of land were donated to the home by Miss

Hannah Hyatt, of this city.  Not content with this

display of liberality, Miss Hyatt has traveled over

this state from one end to the other in the interest

of the home.  Besides giving her time and property to

this enterprise, Miss Hyatt is now installed as matron

of the home, not at a lucrative salary, but without

money and without price.  She receives no pay, save

the orphans prayer and the gratitude of thankful

hearts.  Such devotion to the homeless waif should put

to blush the man with a soul so dead as to discourage

an enterprise of this kind, and should inspire to

renewed exertions those responsive to the ills and

calamities to which humanity falls heir.



There are two orphans in the home at present and more

are expected soon.  Just as soon as the rooms are

furnished the home will doubtless be full.



The board wishes it to be distinctly understood that

while the home is under the control of the Arkansas

Baptist Association, yet its doors are open to all

orphans in the state.  No questions are asked as to

whether they are Methodists, Presbyterian, Baptists,

or whether they belong to any church.  All sects and

creeds are welcome here.  The two orphans in the home

at present are not of Baptist parents.



The present building has cost about $1800.  The home

is under the control of the following board of

trustees:  Rev. W. W. Gardner, Rev. N. C. Denson, Rev.

W. K. Penrod, Rev. Hogan All, R. F. Hyatt, D. T.

Hyatt, Z. T. Wood, L. E. Morgan, J. A. Cason.


Ark. Gazette Feb. 1, 1910, Monticello - Finding a

bottle of carbolic acid in a room, where she had been

left to play in the absence of the nurse, Mercedes

Caples, a 3 year old inmate of the Orphans' Home of

Monticello, drank the contents and died within a few

minutes.  The nurse was gone from the room only a few

minutes and how the child got the bottle from the

shelf where it stood is a mystery.  The little girl

was brought to the home from Clarendon.



Arkansas Gazette:



Monticello, Nov. 3, 1915 - A carload of supplies,

mostly foodstuffs, has been received by the Baptist

Orphan; Home of this city.  It was donated by the

people of Rogers and other neighboring towns.





November 3, 1915-Arkansas Gazette Monticello



J. N. Williams, who has been superintendent of the

Monticello Baptist Orphans' Home for several years,

has resigned.  The affairs of the Orphanage will be

looked after until the meeting of the Baptist

convention, November 18, by the Rev. J. F. Tull and R.

F. Hyatt, two resident members of the Board of

Control.



Arkansas Gazette

Monticello-July 19, 1915

Miss Rose Freeman, of the Orphan's Home, age 19 years,

died on last Friday.  The young lady's former home was

at Berryville, Ark.  The remains were interred in

Oakland Cemetery on last Saturday.


AR Gazette Jan. 9, 1916:

 

Monticello, Jan. 8 - "We have about 175 bright children in our home
 who would be a blessing to any home," says W. F. Dorris, 
superintendent and financial secretary of the Monticello
 Baptist Orphans' Home.  "They will be given to any persons
 giving satisfactory evidence of having a good home for 
them."


Note from: ElmereH@aol.com



The Vesta Bateman listed in the 1920 records is as follows:

 

Age 9 years, White Male, born in Terrell, Kaufman County TX

Name: Vester, Born to James Merion Bateman and E. M Harper.

 

There was an older Brother, Johnny Albert Bateman and Mary Elizabeth Bateman and a

small female called Bea. Never knew what happened to her.
