Orphan Train rider Stanley Cornell’s oldest memory is of his mother’s death in 1925.

"My first feeling was standing by my mom’s bedside when she was dying. She died of tuberculosis," recalls Cornell. "I remember her crying, holding my hand, saying to ‘be good to Daddy.’ "
"That was the last I saw of her. I was probably four," Cornell says of his mother, Lottie Cornell, who passed away in Elmira, New York.
