Evlyn Syble Wiley Broumley, 79, passed away peacefully, February 13th at home, surrounded by her family.
Evlyn was born on February 3rd, 1934 to Melvin and Syble Wiley in Fort Worth. She was raised on the Wiley Dairy in Parker County. She attended school in Aledo, Azle and graduated from Weatherford High School. She then went on to attend Business College in Fort Worth.
In 1952 she married Raymond “Scotty” Broumley, in Portsmouth, Va., while he served in the US Navy. They returned to Parker County and went into the dairy business until 1975. At that time they moved into the city of Weatherford where Evlyn began her career with the Weatherford Library. Evlyn had such a love for books and history she took that love and put it to work. She began as a volunteer, driving the book-mobile and doing what ever was needed. She went on to be a part time library assistant whose talents and interests were diligently used to develop the historical collection from a small group of genealogy books to a fully developed and useful collection. She was a longstanding member of Parker County Genealogy Society and wrote the “Kissin Kin” column for the Weatherford Democrat for over 30 years and was editor of “Trails West” genealogy magazine.  Today, the name of Evlyn Broumley is synonymous with genealogical research in Weatherford, Texas.
