Eva was hired by Mr. J.

She was a precise and dedicated worker and she enjoyed working for a man who was building a world class company. She knew first hand how many jobs were being created in her county and state, and she was proud of the progress the company brought to the area.
Mrs. Clapp was also past president of the Alamance County Business and Professional Women's Club and a member of the First Reform United Church of Christ in Burlington.
