He is only 13 years old according to the 1900 census he was a prisoner at age 13. It pulls at me hard, with his father being a Minister what did this little boy do that was so bad to put him in prison? I search through newspaper clippings and only found the two below. I want to know what his crime was. He looks scared and id you enlarge the picture you can tell he is crying. 





The above article was from Federal Court 1903



The above article was from 1904

Rev. Adolphu Fontroy was born about 1861 in Mississippi. He was married a second time to a Lucinda Debnar and had three more children.



Lucinda's death record

 Rosa Brown was born about 1865 in Arkansas to Netty & Henry Brown.

The first 2 newspaper articles posted above might be his father.

 This is all the genealogy information I found. I made him a tree and added all this information to it for someone to find.
