Arrived in Pierce City, MO in 1894 on the famed "Orphan Train", she was adopted by Marion Hunnell (76890524) and wife. However, she is listed on the 1900 census as a servant, which may have been the more accurate description. Orphans were often "adopted" based on their potential as farm laborers or domestic servants.
