Her birth name was Gertrude Viola Ebert, born August 10, 1897, Cartersburg, Hendricks Co,Indiana. Her parents were Charles M. Ebert, born 1848, N. Carolina; died 1905, Hendricks Co,Indiana and Rebecca Bybee, b: either 1862 or 1865; died 1907, Hendricks Co, Indiana.
At some time between the deaths of her two parents she and two sisters and one or two brothers were placed in the White Institute for Children in Wabash Indiana and they
became wards of the state. One sister was Myrtle Mae Ebert.
On September 26, 1906 when Viola was 9 years old she was placed with Henry Slanger as a foster child. My mother said that when Viola was taken off the train by the state agent
to be introduced to the Slangers she whispered to the state agent to please tell them her name was Viola instead of Gertrude Viola. She was not adopted by the Slangers but the
annual reports indicate mutual affection and she was treated like a daughter. The Indiana archivist who copied the files for me said the file was unusual in that she spent her life as a foster child with one family.
