Unexpected Nuptials Stir Surprise

In mid-1945, Evelyn’s family changed significantly as her parents ended their marriage. She moved into her mother’s downtown Hamilton apartment, bringing her daughter along. For a brief period, the three of them enjoyed a peaceful life until Evelyn stunned her mother with news of an impending marriage to a man named John Dick in mere weeks.

The sudden announcement of Evelyn’s marriage to John Dick in October 1945 came as a complete surprise, especially against a backdrop of concerns. They married in a modest ceremony, but the bliss was short-lived. Continuous arguments marred their relationship from the beginning, and just days post-nuptials, Evelyn sought solace in the arms of her lover, Bill Bohozuk.
