This didn't make it to the list.
The Orphan's home was the James Moorman Orphan's home.
Here is a link to the article that Austin Cox wrote.

His contact information is also at the bottom of the above link.
I believe he has all the old records for the home.
Hope this helps,

Subject: John Russell French and Alice Arville Miller French
Hi, Does anyone know of an orphanage in Randolph County that was
in
existence around 1890-1910? My grandmother Jessie Belle French was one of
John
and
Alices' children. Supposedly they were put in an orphanage after
Alice
died in
1897. Also talk of an orphanage in Fort Wayne. Maybe a Quaker
orphanage?
Any
help will greatly be appreciated.John Russell French was an
evangelist.
Thanks, Betty
