D.A. EVANS
History of Arizona, 1896

D.A. Evans is one of the well known contractors and builders 
of Phoenix. He is a native of the city of San Francisco, 
California, his birth occurring October 5, 1863 and was 
educated in the public schools of Los Angeles. At sixteen 
years of age he began learning carpentering and building of 
his father, who, at that time, was one of the foremost 
contractors of Los Angeles.  For a number of years he continued 
that occupation in and around Los Angeles and San Diego, but 
early in 1893 came to Phoenix, which has since been his home.  
As a skillful mechanic, Mr. Evans is among the best in the 
Territory as is well attested by the excellence of his work 
on the Lamsen Business College, the Ford Hotel, the  residences 
of Messrs. Goldman, Williams, L. Melzer, J. Gibson and numerous 
other buildings.  Since becoming a resident of Phoenix Mr. Evans 
has become identified with the material prosperity of the city 
and is regarded as one of the enterprising and energetic young 
men of the place.

In the year 1886 he was united in marriage with Miss Mary J. 
Kerren, of San Diego by whom he is the father of three 
daughters--Margrette, Evelyn and Gladys.
