Hello! We haven’t been able to include every Evanston woman of significance in our database as of yet. You are welcome to visit the Evanston History Center to do research and you can find out more about that at http://www.evanstonhistorycenter.org. Hope that helps!

I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Walrath as a child. I, too, had the good fortune to be born under her care and then adopted by the fantastic duo of Alfred K. Collins and Elizabeth L. Collins of Evanston.

I am Dr. Garnett’s niece. Her brother the late Dr. William F. Garnett was/is my grandfather. Currently I’m attending Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. I’m thankful to God for my great-aunt and my grandfather for being trail-blazers. I also thank EWHP for spot lighting my great-aunt and other women to lift as women of color strive to climb. May God continue to bless as you reach others through this venue. Eve Garnett
