Evangeline was born on the 29th of March 1906 in Salt Lake City, Uta h i n the first home of Djalmar Emanuel Lund and Aagot Marie Randby. Sh e wa s the first child born into the family. Shortly after her birth, Mot her w alked up town in meet Dad and buy a perambulator (baby carriage). T hey we re so proud. Vange screamed every time they put her in it and ende d up wa lking home, carrying the baby as the other pushed the perambulato r. Whe n Vange was still of pre-school age, Mother and Father bought th e propert y at 677 West Capitol Street. Then Mother took Vange and Temmi e, her you nger sister, and went to Ogden to live with a cousin while th e house wa s being constructed. Vange attended the Washington Elementar y School an d L.D.S. High School. When she was almost eleven years old, s he won Firs t Prize, a blue ribbon, at the Fair for her crocheting and em broidery wor k. When she was seventeen she earned spending money by makin g men’s shirt s for the Rudhart’s. I was told by my mother many times tha t Vange spen t a good deal of her earnings on baby clothes for me and pro udly displaye d me wearing them to her friends.
In May of 1929, the family moved to 266 Douglas Street because the old e r girls convinced their parents that they needed a nicer home and neigh bo rhood in which to entertain their friends. Vange met Lon Sutton, who w a s to become her fiancée in this new locale. Lon and Lev Sutton were le f t orphans when they were young, so their aunt who lived on 5th South a n d 13th East took care of them. They grew up there and attended East Hi g h School where Lon became a football hero. When visiting Mable Lund , a co usin, one weekend for a party, Vange met Lon and fell in love. Aft er wor k on weekends she would take the trolley up to Mable’s where she a nd Lo n would meet. Lon spent his summers in El Paso, Texas working a s a survey or for the gas company and started attending the University o f Utah durin g the school year. Vange became good friends with Lon’s aun t and uncle an d had many Sunday meals with them while Lon was away. Whe n she was to gra duate from East High School, there was so much excitemen t. Her lilac chif fon dress arrived from the dress maker and shortly afte r came a corsage f rom Lon. She was so excited for after the graduation e xercises they hel d the graduation dance and Lon was taking her. This wa s Lon’s third yea r of college after summers in Texas and they were plann ing to marry. In t he meantime, Lon had decided to join the Church. His a unt, who was not L. D.S., was very unhappy. During his last summer in Tex as, they planned t o meet in California to be married. Two weeks before h e contracted pneumo nia and died. It was a terrible shock.
Evangeline started working for Walkers Department Store in the milline r y department decorating hats and later making hats. She then worked fo r t he Telephone Company. She met a life time friend there, Alice Kidd, w ho b ecame endeared to the entire family. Later she worked for the Wester n Com pany of Safeway Inc. in the wholesale warehouse where she met Joh n B. Bro ckman, who was the General Manager of the Western Division of th e Safewa y stores. He fell desperately in love with her and lavished he r with gif ts of fox furs and diamonds. They were married February 6, 193 2 and move d to Seattle, Washington, after losing everything in the depre ssion of 19 29. J.B. had owned 6 chain stores in different towns and ende d his year s with Safeway working in Webster South Dakota cleaning and st ocking th e shelves of a Safeway store.
A son, Nicholus, was born on 31 December 1932, they year they left for S e attle, Washington. After moving to Seattle where they purchased a love l y home, Vange starting working for Frederick and Nelson in the yardag e de partment. J.B. worked as a longshoreman, filling in when the men wer e ill . J.B. died at 68 years of age in 1958. After his death, Vange rema ined i n Seattle for 10 years, retiring at age 65 and then moving to Carm el, Cal ifornia where she lived in a lovely condominium called the Del Me sa nea r her son. Her last four years were spent living on her son’s ranc h in Ca rmel Valley. She spent her last years sewing for her dear grandch ildren a nd caring for and loving her family. She was a special sister t o me, sewi ng clothes and doll clothes for my children and endearing he r to them. He r greatest heirloom to us was some gorgeous Christmas stock ings that sh e sewed, embroidered and decorated with beads. They were a s howpiece an d tradition for every Christmas where they graced our firepla ce, always a ttracting attention. As each child was born, one of these pr ecious stocki ngs came in the mail at Christmas with our newborn’s name e mbroidered o n it. Vange’s final hours were painful as she had complicat ions in her b ack from carrying such heavy loads of materials for so man y years. Her bo nes deteriorated and she ended up using a walker to mov e about in her hom e. She passed away on May 10, 1980. Vange will alway s be remembered a s a very refined lady, meticulous in her dress, and he r home being a symb ol of good taste.
Vange’s son, Nicholus Brockman, graduated from the University of Washing t on with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He attended Business College in San t a Clara, California to obtain his business license. He started workin g a s a broker for Dean Witter. Later, he went into the investment busine ss w orking independently. He married Highland Mary Mosby December 22, 19 64. T hey have two children: Todd Mosby, born June 9, 1973, and Courtne y Lund , born October 19, 1976.
