  • Notes  Married:
    • She took part in a play at the Spring Grove Methodist Church put on by the young people to raise money for repairs on the church. Capton Edmund Barnes of Cabin Point was asked to be in the play too. That is how Eva and Capton met and from then on she was his girl.

      They were married June 5, 1910 in Waverly, Virginia. Eva's father had to get the marriage license as she was not old enough. She Capton, and Capton's sister Ethel Mae Barnes (Shiffer), and a friend all rode in buggies to Waverly, where they were married. The preacher's wife would not let Eva sit down after the ceremony. She said if she didn't sit right away after the ceremony that she would live a long life. "She didn't sit".


      Eva's mother had a wedding dinner doe both familes when they returned from Waverly. [2]
