Description
Evelyn Wilkinson posed in a long white dress and holding a bouquet of flowers with ribbons hanging down.
Evelyn was born in Washington D.C., the daughter of Thomas H. and Bessie (Miller) Wilkinson. Her mother was from Woodstock, and, at some point, Evelyn went back there to live.
She made the honor roll as a Sophomore and Junior at Woodstock High School. The 1920 census found her living on Muhlenberg Street with her grandfather, John B. Miller, and her aunt, Bernice.
Evelyn never married and remained at the home on Muhlenberg Street with her aunt for decades.
In 1930, she worked as a seamstress in a factory. In 1940, she was a clerk at the Cora Miller Memorial Hospital in Woodstock. In 1950, she was a bookkeeper at Bowman’s.
Her death certificate, years later, stated she was a retired teacher whose usual residence was on North Street, Woodstock.
