- After the Surry Lumber Company failed Mattew Laine was out of work. Ashton Laine had a job working at
Nachman's Department Store on Washington Avenue in Newport News, Virginia. Since Ashton was the only one working the family, including Matthew, Susie, Ashton, Catherine, and Evelyn moved to Newport News, Virginia to a house at 1144 Hampton Avenue. Evelyn enrolled in Walter Reed School into the forth grade. Macgruder school was first to third grades only. Shortly after moving to 1144 Hampton Avenue, they moved to the twelve hundred block to a house with a lower rent. This house was also of a lesser quality, poorly insulated making it rather cold in the winter.

half). Evelyn was instead place in high school - the eight grade. After about a year she returned to Newport News.
