Evelyn Mary Boles Chambers

Evelyn connects the Boles family to the Chambers family. Her parents were James C. Boles and Lois Young; her husband was William Lester Chambers. She was never William’s mother, and the tree now shows their relationship correctly.

Birth and parents

Evelyn’s original Montana birth certificate records July 3, 1915, Sidney, Richland County, and names James C. Boles and Lois Young as her parents. View the original certificate below.
