Evelyn Irene “Nanny” Welty died Feb. 20, 2018, at 8:20 p.m. She was 92. Evelyn was born Aug. 11, 1925, to A.M. and Maude Hepler Hawley on the family farm in Millwood. Her father, a carpenter, had built their seven-room house with its water pump in the kitchen, washboard and outhouse (but no electricity). She shared a bed with two of her 11 siblings. They walked to a one-room schoolhouse with a stove and single water bucket when they got old enough, then rode a bus to the high school in Etna Green. Her favorite childhood memories were oranges and Jello-O at Christmas, an aunt in Wisconsin who would send a “real tree” in the mail, and the baby and paper dolls she sometimes received as gifts. “Oh I loved them,” she said. “I spent hours with them.”
