Adaline Josephine EVE was born 11 Feb 1867 in Indiana to Joseph EVE and his wife, Annette. She was one of six known children born to this Catholic family.
On 31 Oct 1893, All Hallows Eve, Adaline married Francis "Frank" Isidore BANET, in Floyd County, Indiana.
Frank and "Della" went on to have eight children: Robert Benjamin, Arthur Matthias, Charles Franklin, Augustin Philip, Frances Eugene, Clarence J., Irene Caroline, and Lorene J. [Irene Caroline was my grandmother.]
Frank passed away in 1945 at the age of 81, nearly 82. But Della lived until 05 Nov 1958, when she passed away at the golden age of 91. She died in Floyd County. And she is buried at the Edwardsville Cemetery in Georgetown.
My Mother was especially close to her grandmother, Della. However, Mother was in the Women's Army Corps [WACs] and was stationed at the Presidio in San Francisco, California. Her family knew that she would be unable to come home to attend the funeral, and so they wrote of her grandmother's death in a letter.
The letter my Mother received, contained the following three photographs of Della's corpse as she lay for her "wake" [a custom still practiced by many].
