Marr MemoEvelyn wanted a church wedding, but Carl was very protective of his privacy and did not wish to have a public wedding so he and Evelyn eloped. On the day they were to get married, Carl instructed Evelyn to go to one station past where he was going to get on the train. That way when Carl’s sister dropped him off at the train station she wouldn’t see that he was with his girlfriend. They took the train to Reno where they got married, and then continued on the train to Chicago. In Chicago they purchased a car and drove it to visit May Foster and Eilene Daugherty in Missouri.

Notes for Evelyn Alverna Sturm
As a child Evelyn and her brother were treated quite harshly by their mother. Arlene related that when Evelyn and Norman were very young (before their parents’ officially divorced but after Albert left the state for work), their mother used to make them stay under the house while she entertained male guests.
After the divorce, Albert gained custody of the two children but passed them to his mother Frieda to raise. As a child Evelyn lived a number of places. For the first four years after the divorce Evelyn was bouncing from one relative to another and eventually to an orphanage and foster homes for the final four years of this period. After eight years, Albert Sturm remarried and reunited the family with him.784
As a youth, Evelyn and her friends loved to dress up as different types of people (e.g., hobos, farmers, etc.) and take pictures. She has a photo album full of pictures of her and her friends dressed up as their various alter-egos.
