Rev. Mary Avidano
Her mother, Madeline Hanke, rode the Orphan Train to Nebraska in 1925 at the age of five. She was raised on a farm in Cedar County, Nebraska.
Mary searched records from many sources, including those from the New York Foundling Hospital released in 2009, to find traces of her mother’s family.
Rev. Mary Avidano and her husband, Rev. Ray Avidano, live at Elgin. Mary is a former minister in Boone County, serving churches in Albion, Akron and Primrose before her retirement in 2008. Her husband now serves as minister of those churches.
