My grandfather Alfred Tildahl and his siblings were there from 1920 to 1930. My in laws live in twin valley now. My daughter's graduation will be held in twin valley. I thought some history of her great grandfather would be a great gift to her. My grandpa died in 1983.I only remember bits and pieces of what he said about the orphanage. I do know someone wrote a book do you know who that is? Any information about my grandfather and his siblings would be great.

Check out Carl Narveson. The Twin Valley Historical Society has a cooy of it. My Maternal Grandparents, John & Alma Widme worked there til the fire. Grandma was a nurse & Grandpa ran the farm. I met Joe Merihy in 2005. He remembered them & took me to their cemetary. I will always think fondly of Joe!
