Were you, or someone you know, a child placed in the Maumee Children’s Home / Orphanage in Toledo OH during 1936 to 1948? Please contact me through my contact form or call 612.619.8886. I can call you back immediately so you don’t incur any long distance charges. Also looking for Cecil Peatree or Peetree or Petree who would be in his 80′s.
Please contact me as I am desperately seeking information.
Thank you.
Hi, I just read your post my moms siblings were in the maumee childrens home in the 1930 to late 1940. There were 4 of them Jennie ,Herman, Glenn,and a baby boy Robert. There was a family George Seasie that lived across from her.they raised a grandson named Kenneth Petree she thinks. She does not know if this would be a relative. They have all found each other but the baby he was the only one offically adopted I would like to find out about him befor she passes away. I have been looking but, we know the couple was from California that adopted him. Yhanks for your time.Darlene
Darlene,
I just saw your post about family members who lived at the Maumee Children’s Home. Do you think any of your Mom’s sister and/or brothers would talk with me about the Maumee Children’s Home? The Home and lives of all those whose footsteps crossed its threshold have certainly earned pages due it in both America’s and Ohio’s history — far more than simply an institutional notation.
Can you tell me their last names and where they live? Or could you put me in contact with them?
Thanks so much for your consideration!
Teresa
