On July 24th, 1910, Thelma McCleary Hemphill was born in the farming community of Reno, Kansas. She had wonderful memories of her childhood at the Hemphill homestead. They moved into Lawrence when she entered first grade. She attended Lawrence schools and continued her education at Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia, where she was a member of Delta Sigma Epsilon Sorority. Her first teaching position was in Lecompton, Kansas, followed by several years at Pinckney Grade School in Lawrence. Over the years, she received many notes from former students telling how significant she was in their education. She married David Houston Evans upon his return from Harvard Business School. In their early marriage, they loved to go to the Pla-Mor Ballroom in Kansas City, and Meadow Acres in Topeka, where they danced to Big Band music. David preceded her in death in 1984, shortly after their 50th wedding anniversary. The Evans family business in Lawrence was always in some form of transportation, dating back to 1863, when the family started the Lawrence Transfer Company. In later years, the auto supply stores expanded to Topeka, Manhattan, and Kansas City. The Hemphill family business, also dating back to early days in Lawrence history, was in farmland sales and investments. Thelma was the oldest living member of the First Presbyterian Church in Lawrence. She was a past president of Chapter AZ of the P.E.O. Sisterhood. She belonged to the Betty Washington Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the RLH Club (Reno- Lawrence Helpers), the Lakeview Club, and the Lawrence Country Club. For several decades, she participated in a retired teachers bridge group. She loved gatherings with family and relatives. She amazed everyone with a sharp mind past 100 years of age, with her fun humor and practical approach to life. All of her brothers and sister preceded her in death. She was the last surviving child of Barbara McCleary and Charles Woodward Hemphill. The family celebrates the wonderful, long life Thelma was fortunate to live. Thanks to the employees of Brandon Woods for their excellent care and kindness during her 7 years of residency.
