Evelyn Krueger was a member of the Madison High School Class of 1930. After graduation, she obtained her teaching certificate at Eastern State Normal School and taught for one year in Junius. She earned a B.S. degree in library science from George Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee and a B.S. in nursing from Yale University. Evelyn married Frank Jones and settled in Delaware where she worked as a teacher, librarian and nurse there and in Washington, D.C. Three years after her husband’s death in 1996, Evelyn’s failing health caused her to move to Bethel Lutheran Home in Madison, where she passed away on September 28, 2001.

The Madison Central School District was named one of the recipients of Jones Estate with the interest from investing the funds to be used for scholarships administered by the MCS Educational Foundation.
