Evelyn was born in Worth, Illinois, the second child of Florence and Samuel Chapman. She was part of a huge family. Her grandmother Emily Stromberg had been born in Worth in 1862 and remained there all her life. Emily had 12 children. Ten were living when Evelyn was born. Aunts and uncles surrounded her. She and her older brother George Edwin called "Ed" all his life like she who was Florence Evelyn; was "Evelyn" all her life.She was second in line that eventually produced fifteen cousins. The cousins produced twenty-five descendents of which Evelyn's daughter Patricia was the first. Patricia had three sons and began the 5th generation. As the elders died off and new generations were born, there have been three generations of 5th generation grandmother. Then mom became the Eldest in her turn and was surprised not only to be the family Elder but delighted she had three great grandchildren. There are still seven cousins left. The Eldest is Frank Stromberg, whose mother Eva was a sister to Evelyn's father while Frank's father was her mothers brother. |
