Evelyn lived in Southbridge since her marriage to Leo in 1932. She was born in nearby Thompson, Connecticut in 1912 and was raised in Webster, Massachusetts, graduating from Bartlett High School in 1930. Leo used to ride the train from Southbridge to Webster to court her. She was a strong, determined woman with a wonderful, soft side. I spent as much of my childhood in her company as time would allow. She often would speak of our heritage and I remember very well the numerous times she would tell me that I am “German, English, Slavic, Irish and French”. The German, English and Slavic came from her side of the family. The Irish and French came from my grandfather, Leo. Evelyn would tell stories of how her family came from Prussia. That always fascinated me because there was no Prussia on the modern-day map. It was as if she was telling me that these things should matter to me; yet, I was too young to give them the full attention they deserved. Now, I laugh when I discover something “new” that she already told me long ago. She was a wise woman, but the timing was all wrong. How I wish I could talk to her now…
She was cremated. Her ashes were scattered in the far left corner (from the road) of St. George’s cemetery on Paige Hill in Southbridge, Massachusetts.
Feige Name Meaning
German: variant of Feig German: topographic name for someone who lived by a fig tree or metonymic occupational name for a grower or seller of figs from Middle High German vīge (Old High German fīga from Latin ficus). German: from Fey a short form of the personal name Sophia. Jewish (Ashkenazic): from the Yiddish female personal name Feyge a back-formation from Feygl (see Feigel ) as if this contained the diminutive suffix -l.
