The Home for Destitute Colored Children was founded circa 1856 and was publishing annual reports as late as 1881. The indenture here is for a young girl named Fanny Thomas to be in the care of the Home and W. Jarret Hollowell of Abington, Montgomery County, PA, noting that she will be taught "the art and mystery of housekeeping. A modern plaque indicates that Fanny's mother was " the Poor House at Montgomery County Disgraced Husey."
