I did not find any death records or FAG for him. He was never adopted.
Below is the 1900 Census listing him in the Orphanage, he is the only black child listed on the entire page.
He really touched my heart deeply. I can feel his pain. I pray someone from his family knows about him and will fill us in on his story.
William I am sorry your life here was so painful. You are at peace now and in a better place. God Bless until we can meet someday.
I, too, feel his pain. It was deeply imbedded. Rest in the presence of God, sweetie.
