Eve Glover Anderson

Again, RG your are a treasure on this site. I did some quick research on Edward S. Shepard and from what I could find in the little time I had is that he was a railroad baron in Chicago. If he lived on Sheridan Road around the turn of the century he was probably in the neighborhood I lived in for 5 years when I first moved to Chicago from Minneapolis in 1983. I was in a high rise located where one section of the famous Edgewater Beach Hotel was situated.

Sheridan Road is the street that runs on the west side of the hotel, Lake Shore Drive now runs on the east side of where the "X" shaped building still stands as apartments (for you football fans, Papa Bear Hallas lived in that building until he died). There were mansions along Sheridan road all the way up to Evanston where Northwestern University is located. Wow, how would you like to have Ms. Anderson's lineage!

Thanks Steve! The Edgewater looks really interesting, I'll have to check it all out...so cool that you lived right there! And small world...the Shepherd's mansion was just a 5 minute drive up Sheridan from you! It's now demolished unfortunately.

For any interested history buffs, here's a bit more of Eve's history...


This is Eve's grandmother Julia Shepherd Grossman (later Wall) holding Eve's mother Eva. (Society column from the Honolulu Star Bulletin, March 14, 1914)

Part of the caption reads, "Mrs. Grossman was recently hostess at a large and very beautiful tea at the Country Club".



A few years later they would move to the home on Nuuanu Ave. (I posted about above), but not before it burned to the ground just before completion:

(Thrum’s Hawaiian Annual 1915)
"FIRE RECORD.

Honolulu has been favored with another year of comparative
freedom from disastrous fires, the most serious being that of
Dr. Grossman's fine new residence in upper Nuuanu, undergoing
its finishing touches, April 25th, which was gutted by fire, pos-
sibly from spontaneous combustion. Loss about $15,000."


But as we know they rebuilt it, and held a lavish housewarming party:

(Honolulu Star Bulletin February 10, 1917)



(Honolulu Star Bulletin February 17, 1917 - in the paper the very next day!)






The home is very close to the Oahu Country Club, where they were members (http://www.oahucountryclub.com/club/scr ... DN=HISTORY)

Today that portion of Nuuanu Ave. is the Pali Hwy.:



Here's a pic of Eve's grandfather, Dr. Moses Grossman, we haven't seen before...




They also had a Kahala home "in the country":

Your sleuthing is absolutely top notch RG!!!

Wow, Amazing research finds, RG!

Thanks, Work The Lock! I'll be posting more on this thread.

A few years ago we ID'ed Eve Anderson as being in "Beauty Knows No Pain" competing (at times side by side) with Magnum in the Ironman Triathlon scenes, and then we discovered that she actually competed in triathlons in real life. Check out this great article I just found!

What a fantastic find RG! It even mentions her climbing the coconut trees to help me do some trimming
I didn't know she was a golfer either. Interesting about her Alaskan hike/ski adventure....I bet it took a bit of time adjusting to the difference in temp. that she is usually used too. Swimming to Rabbit Island wouldn't be easy either....hats off to her!!!!!
Thanks for sharing RG!

[Rembrandt's Girl]

I knew you would find that interesting, KENJI!

I remember she used to have get-togethers at Pahonu with a group of friends/swimming club (?), and they'd swim to Rabbit Island & back for fun.

I also just saw a comment on social media (Lenkov's Instagram account actually) and a tourist/fellow MPI fan said that during a visit to Pahonu in 2012 she saw Eve climbing her coco palms to get coconuts!

I'm sure you know there is a photo or two of her trimming a coco palm somewhere on this forum.

Thanks Sam, I posted some screen shots, not sure if these are the ones you mean or there's another?

That's great - way to go Eve!!!!! I wonder if she is trimming any trees at her new place....she is getting up there in age now. You never know with her....she's a tough one!

That sounds like such a great insult. "You Japanese pug bitch!"
