Note: Evelyn's obituary wasn't clear with regard to her maiden name due to the incomplete listing of her parents. Also, the "Burlington Hawkeye had an obituary for her which noted that in adition to her five grandchildren, there are six great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and two sisters, Fern CRAFTON of Fairfield and Margaret NEWELL of Des Moines. Thanks to Verda Baird for the clarification and additional info.
