SSDI Robert I. Everingham b.7 April 1920 NY, last residence: Onondaga, New York, death: 27 July 2005, estimated age 85.
Blanche Bacorn Everingham drifted peacefully away on Super Bowl Sunday, from the hands of daughter Carol, and into the harmony of the heavens. At 98, Blanche is last of the 8 children of Clara & Garrett Ezra Bacorn of Elmira NY. Named after the 1916 silent movie star, Blanche Sweet, and like her life-long beloved sister Evie (b. 1913), named after Lady Evelyn of England, both were born in their Grandfather Ezra's home (corner of 6th and Davis) - the present site of Elmira College campus Health Center! Having been "pre-college" bound, the Bacorn sisters, Evie in '35 and Blanche in '38, did graduate with a "Bachelor Degree" from Elmira College in business.
 On Valentines Day 1944, "Miss Bacorn" typing & business teacher at Ithaca High School, became engaged to the Ag teacher & school wrestling coach, Robert I. Everingham. They were married "quickly" Memorial Day weekend in Cornell's Sage Chapel - in a "shotgun wedding" (as the groom told his Cornell AGR fraternity brothers) - but it was "Uncle Sam holding the shot gun." Draft notice in hand, the newlyweds went south - RIE to boot camp and BBE became research librarian at Duke University. In Jan '45 Private Everingham was sent overseas, and his darling "B" moved to Rochester NY, to share an apt. with sister Evie, and to take grad courses for a Master's Degree from Univ. of Rochester. In Nov '46, Staff Sergeant Everingham, honorably discharged with a Purple Heart, passionately returned to his parents Edna & William French Everingham's family farm in LaFayette, and now proudly, with a "Mrs. Robert I. Everingham" at his side. "Blanche" settled in - a daughter born the following August, joining the Presbyterian church Apr 10, 1949, and son Bob Jr born on March 7, 1950.
