- Eva Margaret (Nessler) West
- She was born in Iowa to William “Will” Nessler and Ella (Moore) Nessler. Her father was harness maker and farmer. Her mother was a homemaker. The 1900 US Census shows her family living in Sioux Rapids, Iowa, when Eva was 15. Along with many other Iowans, the family moved to Palisade, Colorado in 1906. There, they farmed fruit. She married Loren Dwight West in Glenwood Springs on September 14, 1913. He was also from a Palisade fruit farming family. They moved for a time to Castleford, Idaho, and the 1920 US Census shows them running a stock farm there. They returned to Palisade in 1927 and once again farmed fruit.
