QUERY: Aunts and orphans

Body
Tom Sawyer was raised by his dead mother's sister, Aunt Polly.
Gavriel Shapiro [and Michael Donohue]
Sredni Vashtar, of course.
Carolyn Kunin
Just barely [September 1900] "Aunty Em, Aunty Em!"
Sandy Drescher
Jane Eyre was raised by her heartless Aunt Reed. David Copperfield is adopted by his kind, eccentric aunt Betsy Trotwood and even renamed "Trot" (an apt word for Pale Fire) in her honor. Also Pollyanna (1913) -- but Jane, David, and Tom are probably the best examples.
