The Defiance County Children's Home was in operation from November 25, 1884 to October 13, 1914. The buildings are gone, the cemetery nearly demolished except for a few sparse graves. But the spirit of the young orphans who lived there are still around. Soft children's whispers have been heard around the graves.
