I am searching for someone who is alleged to have been placed in an orphanage in Clearfield in the late 1930s. I was told it is either St. Agnes or St. Francis, but I cannot find any orphanages in the area by either of those names (only a St. Francis school--was it also an orphanage?). Does anyone have any knowledge of orphanages that would have been operational in the 1930s?

There was a children's home in Clearfield. The Children's Aid Society was formed in 1890 with the porpose of aiding children who had become wards of the county. The "Children's Home" was built in Clearfield in 1918. CCHS
