From the book, "Zachariah and Nellie Fender Landreth and Their Descendants" by
Naomi Drake Miller, 1955:

Evaline moved with her parents to a farm in Mercer county, Illinois and spent
practically her whole lifetime in Mercer county.
After her husband Henry Browning's death at age 24, Ev moved back to the home
of her parents and there seven months after his father's death, Charles H.
Browning was born to her. She continued to live with her parents and was with
them when her father died in February 1872.
In April 1874 her baby, Charlie, became ill and after a short illness died on
the 27th of April, 1874. A few days after his death she was washing his
trousers and found a cube of paint in one of his pockets. Eating the paint had
caused his death.
Following Zachariah's death Ev's mother, Nellie and Granny (Mary Long Landreth)
continued to live on the farm. Eveline or Ev as she was called, had been left a
widow a few years before her father's death and with one son had returned to
live with her parents. She and Frances (the youngest child of Zackie and
Nellie) lived with their mother and Granny until Frances married, probably soon
after her father's death, and Ev remarried in 1874 her cousin Daniel Fender.
Ev and Daniel owned a farm near Aledo, Illinois and here their children were
raised. In addition to her housework, Ev always helped with the farm chores.
She was a large woman and is remembered by a grandniece as "large but
beautiful". She would never allow herself to be weighed but one day Daniel
tricked her into holding a cow on the scales, then later weighed the cow alone.
He was a gentleman though and would never tell what she weighed; only saying
that she did not weigh quite as much as the cow. Ev liked to go barefoot when
others were not around, probably because her feet caused her great discomfort
which was common among the Landreth descendants. She was more comfortable going
barefoot.
One of her sons brought his bride home to spend the night shortly after their
marriage--the first time she and Ev had met. Early the next morning Ev went out
to do the milking, barefoot, thinking that the daughter-in-law would sleep
later. Much to Ev's surprise and embarrassment when she returned to the house
the daughter-in-law was up and saw her come in the house barefoot.
In later years Ev and Daniel moved to Aledo, Illinois, where she died four days
before her 55th birthday. She is buried in the Millersburg Cemetery as is her
husband Daniel.
