  • Girl found in wall of home IDed as 19th century teenager

    Girl found in wall of home IDed as 19th century teenager

    · History and Hearsay

    Investigators have determined that a skull discovered in the wall of an Illinois home in 1978 was that of an Indiana teenager who died more than 150 years ago, authorities announced Thursday.

    According to a timeline provided by the Kane County Coroner’s Office, the property owner found the skull while renovating the home in Batavia. Police launched an investigation but the case went cold and the skull was relegated to the Batavia Depot Museum for storage.

    The skull went forgotten until March of 2021, when museum supervisors discovered it during an inventory audit. They called police, who sent the skull to the coroner’s office. Working with Othram Laboratories, a forensic laboratory in Texas that assists law enforcement, the office was able to build a DNA profile from the skull

  • The Orphan Train: America’s Forgotten Children

    The Orphan Train: America’s Forgotten Children

    · History and Hearsay

    Imagine being a child on the freezing streets of 19th century New York. Your mother is dead and your father, too poor to feed you and your baby sister, sends you out to survive on your own. Cold, hungry, and terrified, you stumble into an alley where other abandoned children huddle for warmth. They teach you their ways, but survival is brief. You’re caught, thrown in jail, and before you know it, you're told you're going on a train ride to a "better life"—far from the only family you have left.

    This is the story of the Orphan Train—a journey of hope, despair, and the complex legacy of America’s first child welfare experiment.

  • Butterbox Babies: The Stolen Babies Of Nova Scotia BABY FARMERS

    Butterbox Babies: The Stolen Babies Of Nova Scotia BABY FARMERS

    · History and Hearsay

    The Butterbox Babies refers to a dark chapter in Canadian history involving the Ideal Maternity Home in East Chester, Nova Scotia. Run by William and Lila Young in the 1920s to 1940s, it presented itself as a sanctuary for unwed mothers. However, behind closed doors, the Youngs operated a black-market adoption scheme, selling babies born at the home to willing adoptive parents. These infants often suffered neglect and mistreatment, with some being buried in small wooden butter boxes on the property. The truth about this exploitation and abuse came to light in the 1980s, leading to public outrage and efforts to memorialize the infants, making it a haunting reminder of past injustices.
