Esther Carter was born on May 12, 1859. She was the daughter of James Perry Carter and Harriet Wood Carter. She came across the plains to Utah when she was only two years old. Upon here arrival in Utah, her family went directly to Lehi to live.
She married Mosiah EVANS on 14 Dec 1882 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, UT. They had the following children: Mosiah David James EVANS (b. 23 Sep 1883), Esther Maud EVANS (b. 28 Mar 1885), HOWARD EVANS (b. 20 Feb 1887), Hazel May EVANS (b. 8 Jan 1889), Eliazar CARTER EVANS (b. 16 Jan 1892), John Roscoe EVANS (b. 14 Jul 1893), Earl William EVANS (b. 9 Mar 1893), Glen Merrill (PAT) (b. 15 Aug 1895), Earl William EVANS, Jessie Virginia EVANS, Lyra Alice EVANS (b. 7 Oct 1904).
She was given the nickname of "Mungie," and her grandchildren use this name freely when they talk about her today.
Knitting and crocheting were special hobbies of Mungie. Baby booties were frequently taking shape on her needles.
She gave birth to ten babies of her own, and raised nine of them to maturity. So you might say that she specialized in babies.
While living in Garland, Utah, Esther was a member of the Stake Relief Society Board, Emmeline B. Wells was a visiting guest for the Relief Society, and while in Garland she stayed in the home of Esther Evans. She was very old and could not climb the stairs at night to retire. So, Esther Evans husband Mosiah carried her gently up the stairs each night.
There were Typhoid epidemics in Garland, Utah at the time that Esther Carter lived there. She helped to nurse the sick and was very kind to them. She was caring for a mother and her two daughters who were ill with typhoid. There was only one bed in the house and the three sick ones had to share it. The mattress and the bedding were in very poor condition. So Mungie took it off the bed and burned it. Then she brought them a new mattress and fresh bedding from her own home. Despite Mungi's efforts the three patients all died in that same bed.
All of her life Esther C. Evans loved to travel. When she was eighty years old her nephew, Wallace Hodges, took her to see Zions National Park. In those days, the trunks of the car were hump shaped on the back, and Mungie decided that the trunk would be a perfect spot to view the Canyon from (At Zions National Park you have to look up to view the scenery). So, her nephew strapped her to the trunk of the car, and Mungie got a first class look at the canyon. She was a very daring eighty year old. If any of her children had done that, she would have objected most strongly.
Esther Carter Evans died at age 83, on December 17, 1941. She is buried in the city cemetery at Lehi, Utah.
