Also graduating in that class was Helga Landstrom (#110). Graduating from the Crosby-Ironton normal school for teachers in that same commencement program was Eva M. Gustad (#135). In January, 1925, Lil was at college in St. Cloud. Agnes Gustad, better known as “Aggie” to Lil, was also at St. Cloud college at that time. In April of 1929, Lil was in Hibbing. At the time of the 1930 census, Lillian Everson was renting apartment #206 at 218 Mayfield Avenue in Chicago. Lillian, 25, was sharing the apartment with Katherine Anderson, 20. Their rent is $47.50/month and they had a radio. Both are single and both were born in Minnesota. Lillian’s parents were both born in Norway, Katherine’s in Finland. Lillian was a secretary in the lumber industry, Katherine a stenographer in the insurance industry. The Friday, April 8, 1949, edition of the Brainerd newspaper notes that “Mr. and Mrs. George Graham, Jean, and David spent several days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albin Everson last week.” Lil said, in a letter to Elaine in 1970: "I did not live [at] home after I started high school and then only summers. Prior to that those things held no interest for me." In his September 13, 1945 letter to his brother Harold, George Everson wrote: “Lil was home over a week. She bossed quite a lot, she also helped a lot.” Died suddenly at her home while unpacking groceries. According to her obituary in the Chicago Tribune, Lil moved to Chicago in the 1920s and worked for several years as a secretary before her marriage. She was a volunteer for many years for the Service League at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge. Her son-in-law said that "she had kindness, love, and generosity. She would take food to a housebound person and drive another to church. She always kept jam and cookies to give someone who needed a pickup and she taught the little ones to sew. She did things for people." Her son David was the informant for her death certificate. Lil's SS# was issued in Illinois.
