    Mary Harris, b. 20 Nov 1830

    Their son Ebenezer was my great-great-grandfather and after he died in 1884, some members of his family turned their backs on his ill widow and four children, forcing them from their home. She had to put the three youngest in the Terre Haute orphanage while she regained her health. Also, she and the oldest child found work and a new home so she could remove the children before a year was up or they would have been fostered out to local families. My great-grandfather refused to acknowledge or speak of these people the rest of his life.
