Biographical History
Evelyn Wendt was a homemaker from Michigan who worked with her husband Bob at his radio repair shop in Gaylord, Mich. In March 1947 she, her husband, and three children drove to Palmer, Alaska, along the Alcan Highway, a journey that took two months. They brought with them a trailer house, a generator, a new truck, a jeep, and enough canned foods to last them a year. She found employment in Palmer at the Matanuska Valley Farmers' Cooperating Association. The Matanuska Valley Colony was an agricultural colony sponsored by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration to promote settlement and to investigate sustainable crops in the region; families from the Upper Midwest initially settled there in 1935.
