Editor's Note:
Dedicated in 1869, the orphanage was home to needy children of wounded or killed Civil War veterans. In 1899, the home opened to indigent children of any military family; eventually, it was open to any such youngster in the state. This new book is strong on oral histories, giving an overview of the school, personal memories and about 225 photos. (Description adapted from Sharon K. Wolfe, 10/8/2007, 'Book Recalls History of ISSCS Orphanage in Normal," Pantagraph).
