All that medical skill and loving hands could do was of no avail and the brave, hopeful Spirit was called to her Maker. As a girl Evelyn had attended the Methodist Sunday School and Church and in this Christian environment good seed was sown which bore fruit in the sweetness of character which won the love of those with whom she was associated.
