I am searching for information regarding the Indiana Guardian's Home, back in the 1930s and possibly into the 1940s. My husband's grandmother and several aunts and uncles (5 total, I think) all were put their by their father after their mother died because he couldn't care for them.

I have specific names if there is a list of children who went there can be found. What I do know is that 4 of the 5 children were sterilized (standard procedure at that time, I'm told). The fifth child (my husband's grandmother) was not put though this procedure due to a bad case of diptheria. I guess they just assumed she'd been sterilized by the disease or something.

Anyway, I would like to know the location of the Home, and any historical information available. Also, if there is a website, that would be great too.

Thank you ahead of time for any information ... it is greatly appreciated!
