Dr. Evans' Golden Wedding. A note of invitation from Rome, Georgia, apprises us that the stewards of Rome station, North Georgia Conference, have determined to celebrate the golden wedding of Rev. Dr. James E. Evans and his wife, Mrs. Parmelia J. Evans, at the M. E. Church, South, in Rome, March 22d, 1881, from 8 to 11 p. m., and they very properly desire to make it the occasion of a general collection of friendly golden offerings by the numerous admirers of the excellent clergyman throughout the State. Dr. Evans was licensed to preach December 25, 1820, more than a half century ago, and the whole State of Georgia has been the theatre of his faithful and affectionate ministrations. Having spent all his time and earnings for others, old age finds him without provision for its necessities, and it is hoped that something handsome may be realized from thousands of small mementoes contributed on this interesting occasion. Additional Comments: This is my gg grandfather. James E William James Jefferson "Jeff" My mother Until this year I knew very little about him. All my knowledge has been through the generosity of others.
