My grandfather wasn't placed there, but went to live with another family. The Home for the Friendless turned into an Orphans home later and was run by Laura Hawkins who was the model for Becky Thatcher of Mark Twain lore.<br /><br />We visited Hannibal a number of years ago and found it to be a neat old river town.Clark Ramblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713435758075556066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193404185396241691.post-69273536563667243562013-09-15T08:24:08.162-07:002013-09-15T08:24:08.162-07:00Glad you liked the meal.
