All my life I heard about my grandpa Roy Harrison and his siblings was put in foster care after thier father died. And some of them almost got adopted. But I hear that the older children got job's and help out around the house. They all was raised on the river. Actually, I really thought thier dad left them. I did'nt know Hershel died at a young age. So, It turn out they was'nt in the foster home's.
I was surprise on what I found. I found couple of stuff on Lola Helen Arend and her mother Minnie Belle Sisley. It turn out that Lola supposeed to go to her mother's sister house. but she did'nt. So, August reported her missing in Quincy on the date 17 Jul 1919. 6 month's after that Lola showed up 1920 Census married to Hershel Harrison. The census was taken on the date 9 Jan 1920. Then I knew there was something up. Hershel and Lola took off to California and eloped. Well, They maybe got married in Lee, Iowa but I can't find nothing on where they got married. Found out they really got married in Quincy, Adams, Ill.
I will post something for Minnie later on.
