Evalena C (Croushorn) Heflin was the youngest child of James Wm and Alice Swartz Croushorn who lived near Daniel's Mill on a farm below Catlett. The Croushorn's moved to Catlett from near Mt. Sidney when Evalena was a young girl of about four or five years of age. Her mother was a fine homemaker and musician and her father was an excellent farmer and man of much integrity.
Evalena went to school at Catlett and later at Calverton. She had three older brothers and a half-sister, Sadie Croushorn Byers, from her father's first marriage.
Evalena married Ruben A. Heflin when she was 18 in April 1933, and together they raised four children (James, Charles, Eugene, and Faith)and farmed for nearly 50 years on Rte. 607 below Catlett. She died in 1993 at the age of 79 from complications of a hip fracture.
Evalena was my mother, one of the most talented and ingenious women I ever knew. She could hunt, fish, cook, bake, sew, crochet winning afghans, did beautiful prize-winning ceramics. She could draw and paint, sing, play the organ and piano by ear...... in younger life the guitar. She remembered poems and songs from childhood even. She could drive a tractor, farm, can food, fix things.... she made life interesting and colorful for us kids.
