The orphanage that is the focus of my blog, has been known by many different names, making it very difficult to research or gather information about. See post below where I have listed all the names that I have found so far. I'm hoping that through the help of this blog those of us who have had family either living in this children's home, or family that has worked there and contributed in some way to this children's home, can gather here and help all of us learn more about those days in this home. If you have additional information or stories that you would like to share you can either comment below on one of the posts, or send an email to me at gspne61@gmail.com (Photo is from the Elizabethtown College: Church of the Brethren Photograph Collection and may be used only for non-commercial educational purposes.)

Pleasant View School Class Photo 1930-31

Pleasant View School Class Photo from 1930-31 School Year
This doesn't exactly go along with the Neffsville Orphanage other than possibly some of the same children might be in both photos. The main reason I have added it is because this is where my Great Uncle Franklyn went next after being adopted from the orphanage by the Benjamin and Minnie Smith family.

From what I've been told so far, there were three schools in the Penryn school district during the 1930's, and this photo is from the one called Pleasant View for the school year 1930-31. The teacher in this photo is Anna Will Breitigan and below is a list of the students that we have names for so far. If you have any additional information on this school or can help with filling in any of the other name slots, please post it in the comments section and I will gladly add it to this post.
