Evan-Burrows Fontaine
Evan-Burrows Fontaine (October 3, 1898 – December 27, 1984) was an American Denishawn-trained interpretive dancer and actress whose career suffered after she became entangled in a breach of promise lawsuit with a member of one of America's wealthiest families.
==Early life==
Evan-Burrows Fontaine 〔Note: aka Evan Burrows Fontaine and Evan Burroughs Fontaine〕 was born on October 3, 1898 at Huron, Texas, a present day ghost town with the Cedar Creek Baptist Church as its last surviving structure.〔Evan B. Fontaine-Social Security Death Index, Ancestry.com〕〔Friedman, Evan Burrows Fontaine - Passenger Manifest SS Leviathan October 13, 1930 - Ancestry.com〕〔( Huron, a Texas Ghost Town ) accessed June 12, 2012〕 She was the daughter of William Winston Spotswood Fontaine, an accountant who would later become general manager of the Alamo Cottonseed Company〔Winston Fontaine Dies on East Coast-The San Antonio Light - August 21, 1939; pg; 15;Ancestry.com〕 and Florence West Evans, the daughter of a Dallas life insurance agent.〔"1900 US Census">Evan B Fontaine, Dallas Tx. 1900 US Census Records, Ancestry.com〕 Her family later moved to Dallas, where by the turn of the twentieth century they were boarders at a rooming house owned by her maternal grandparents. Fontaine's paternal 3rd great-grandmother was Martha Henry, daughter of American Founding Father, Patrick Henry.〔(The Green Book Magazine, Volume 21, January, 1920, pg. 454-457 ) accessed June 11, 2012〕 Her grandfather, William Winston Fontaine, served in the American Civil War as a colonel under Confederate generals, Stonewall Jackson and J.E.B. Stuart. After the war he taught at Baylor Female College in Independence, Texas and later held the chair of Latin for a decade at the University of Texas.〔W.W. Fontaine Passes in Mississippi-The Atlanta Constitution November 3, 1917; Ancestry.com〕 Not much is known here about Fontaine’s early life except that by 1915 she was living with her mother in New York City〔Florence Fontaine-1915 New York State Census, Ancestry.com〕 and that at an early age she traveled to California where she became a protégée of dancer Ruth St. Denis. Later she would claim she was also trained by Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, but this has yet to be verified.〔(Dancing the Subject of ‘Java’: International Modernism and Traditional Performance, 1899-1952 ) accessed June 11, 2012〕
