Narrative

I don't believe Evelyn had any children. There were only two Meader births recorded in Chicago from 1920 to 1936. Leland Meader (1932) was with his father Leland in 1940. Shirley Meader (1927) was with her parents in 1930.

I found Arthur in 1940, remarried and living in Chicago. There were no children in the household.

That is the way Sarah Carroll's immigration information was recorded. I think it was switched around in error.

I think the information on Eva's line about her parents' birthplaces is switched around in error.
