Eva arrived with her mother and two siblings in May 1868, just as Laramie was opening up because of the first passenger train coming into the new town that month. She married Stephen Wheeler Downey in 1872 and would become the matriarch of a family of 12 children. Her daughter, June Etta, graduated from UW and later Chicago University, becoming a nationally known psychology educator and expert in the field. We often hear about the illustrious founder of our University of Wyoming, Stephen Downey, now learn about the women in his life.
