'Register of the Inmates of the Orphans'Home Warrick County, Indiana'
Bettie May and Nester May, are found on the first page of this register, with George May listed as their parent.

There is no date at the top of this page and I feel this first page is a listing of the children living in the home in December 1882 when Ed and Malinda Meece took over management of the home. Near the bottom of this first page is the date Jan 1883 when new children were admitted.

Page 2 is dated 22 December 1886, so for the four years from December 1882 to December 1886 no record of the children of the home was noted.
