The
Christian Home
Children's Orphanage
1910 Census
Orphans and some staff
workers at The Christian Home orphanage in Pott. Co., Council Bluffs,
Iowa, extracted from the 1910 census.
The Christian Home was
founded by The Rev. and Mrs. J.
G. Lemen in 1882, receiving children between the ages of 2 and 15. By
1883, there were about six children being cared for, but by 1886 that
number grew to more than 40. By the time this 1910 census was taken,
the home housed around 50 to 100 children at any given time. In
addition, in 1910, the home was operated by the son of Rev. Lemen, H.
R. Lemen and his wife who occupied a home near the orphanage. Florence
Stephan, a niece of Rev. Lemen, took over operation in 1920. The
facility is still in operation today, although it operates under the
name of Children's Square U.S.A., continuing to do the good works
started by the Lemen family.
Note: Data was
extracted from the 02 May 1910 census,
Pottawattamie County, Kane Township, Sheet 13A, E. D. 134, pages 104
through 106. Although children were housed in dorms grouped by age, the
census list has been merged here so that you can better determine
family connections.
