Evelyn Dunn Brooks (1921 -)

People from the region have long known Evelyn Brooks as the lady on the mountain with all the kids. Evelyn and her husband Ira Brooks farmed the "sour," rocky soil of the mountain to feed their large family. Known for her quick wit and intelligence, Evelyn and Ira ("Pop Pop") were known for their generosity and selflessness. Evelyn has been a Second Calvary Baptist Church "Mother" for several years, and it is not uncommon for her to dance up the church aisle to this very day while being "slain in the spirit."
