"My brothers and I were in a children's home in Oklahoma between 1949-1952. Can you confirm if we were at St. Joseph's. Wesley John Stevens; Sharon Lynn Stevens, Edward Price Stevens. The two older children would have been there in 1949; the youngest would have joined us in Jan 1952. Attached is a picture of the two older children on the steps of what I've always believed to be the home. I have checked with the Baptist's Childrens home and they have no record of us."
We have a message from the woman who had the photos saving she had identified the location. It is the "Methodist Children's Home" est. in 1927 in Newton, KS. It associated with two new works which grow out of that early facility. One is Ember Hope and another reader informed us that the Children's Home , in 1960, become Methodist Youthville.
Youthville is a large service helping children and families. Libby Hall (pictured above) was constructed in 1929.

This is the Kansas Methodist Home for Children.
In 1960 the name was changed to Methodist Youthville.
