Bella (sometimes spelled Belle) and Alice Quince were sisters and are my great-aunts. They rode the Orphan train to Sidney, Iowa arriving in Sep. 1904 from NYC with Rev. H.D. Clarke. Alice, age 10, was placed with James Easley. Bella, age 12, may have been placed with a family named Hatten. On Dec 9, 1904 they were placed in Oakland, Iowa possibly to a family named Statzell. Bella was place 12 times in 3 years. One of the homes may have been with a Robbins family in Waukon, Iowa. Any information you have on the Alice and Bella Quince is greatly appreciated. Until recently, I never heard of the orphan trains and was unaware of this part of our family history. Thank you for your assistance.
