I believe this photo was from the Mexico Orphan's
Home. Second from the right in the third row back is
Vera Clear. She was born in Jan 1906 Vera Lillian
Clear to Calvin and Clara (Herd/Hurd) Clear. Her
father died in the fall of 1907 and she spent most of
her childhood in the Mexico Orphan's Home. In 1922
Vera was adopted by Pleasant and Ruth Ward of Carroll
County and her name was changed to Vera Marie Ward. In
1924 she married Lewis Alva Ward (no relation to her
adopted parents) in Carroll County. She passed away in
Lafayette, Indiana, in 1982. Her mother, Clara,
married Charles Allman and lived in Chili in Miami
County. They adopted a little girl named Lois, I don't
know what happened to her. Vera also had a sister
Evelyn and a brother John, but I can't identify them
in the photo. It would be great if someone could
identify some of the other children in this photo.
