Tribute to Evelyn Mary Olive Singleton

After Tony and Terry's phone conversation and discussion about their mother and their mother's siblings, it was determined that Evelyn Mary (Olive) Singleton never had a sister, only brothers. Here are some pictures of Evelyn throughout her life and pictures of her brothers also. Remember, to the immediate family Evelyn is "Mom" or "Grandma".

Charles Leonard, the brother who emigrated to Australia, probably in the 1930s or 1940s is one brother. Picture shows Charles Leonard Olive with daughter Iris and her family. Next picture shows Charles "Len" and his wife. Next is a very old picture of Charles "Len" Olive as a young man. Newspaper article about Charles's daughter visiting Evelyn.

Pictures below: Beth (daughter of Iris), Tony, Evelyn holding newspaper article. Jan, Tara, Dawn, Evelyn, and cousin Graham Luck from Australia during the visit referred to in newspaper article above.

Evelyn's brother Roland is in the next three pictures. Not sure who the extra two people are in one of the pictures.

Evelyn's brother Cecil was married to Ada. Next pictures are of "Cec". First picture is Ada, Evelyn, Cec. Second picture is Ada, Cec, in back ??, Evelyn. Third picture is Ada, Cec, in back ??, Evelyn. And....one more - Cec, Ada, Evelyn in back, and ?? and ?? Any help on the question marks?

Here are a couple of photos of Evelyn....one at a young age with a dress and a bow....and one at an older age with a similar dress and a similar bow. Cute, right?!

And here's a sample of Evelyn's handwriting - a letter from Evelyn to her mother - as well as the envelope postmarked 1943.

Other pictures of Evelyn at an earlier age. If you can figure out the year, we could post it on the picture.

Next pictures are Evelyn at a later stage in life...again, who knows what year they were taken. Maybe this will be a lesson for everyone - caption and date all photos, although now that most of us use the digital camera, this is probably unneeded, unasked for, and unwanted advice. :-)

With these next pictures, Evelyn is on the left of the other person(s)

In this group of pictures, Evelyn is always on the right of the other person(s)

These next pictures had captions on the back...or Tony remembered something about them.

Stan's mother (Emma Harriet) and Evelyn on the right.

Evelyn and probably Joyce Frieston (a friend) (both names are labeled on the picture) on the staff at Butlin's Holiday Camp. Tony remembers that this is where he was taught to paint (given a can of water and a paint brush and he kept busy for hours). Jonathan and Rachael...remember this...it might come in handy for an "Abe and/or Lily activity".

This picture was taken of Evelyn (born October 4, 1903) in 1989 at the King's Court Nursing Home in Grantham. It is possibly the last picture taken of Evelyn before she died in late February, 1990.

Any comments? Anyone see any resemblance to anyone else?
