A memorial service was held March 17 at Port Washington, New York, for Mrs. Edward Chorlian, the former Caryl Evers.

The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Evers, she was born in Stanwood where she attended the grade school and high school. In 1930 she was graduated cum laude from Monmouth college and went to teach at the United Presbyterian American Mission in Alexandria, Egypt.

From 1935 to 1942 her home was in Cairo, Egypt where her husband was a director of European Recorded Music, announcing and foreign relay section of Cairo Radio, as well as a CBS correspondent. During World War II, she worked at the American College for Girls in Cairo, then was appointed chief code clerk in the military attaché's office at the United States Embassy. After World War II, Mr. and Mrs. Chorlian moved to Port Washington, where she took up volunteer brailing for the blind. This led to her being employed by the Board of Cooperative Educational Services of Nassau county as an itinerate teacher of the visually handicapped.

She is survived by her husband, Edward; a brother, Dr. Lorance Evers, Bend, Ore., and 3 sisters, Mrs. Doris Dusch and Mrs. Bethany Mickey, San Diego, Calif.; and Mrs. Estelle Barnes, Monmouth, Ill.
