   J. C. F. EVANS, known to every one as "Mont," is a native of Tipton County;
he is the son of M. P. Evans, as excellent a citizen as Tipton ever had, who
rendered up his life in the service of his country during the late rebellion.
Mont was born on the 25th of September, 1854; he was raised in Tipton, and
educated in her common schools, and afterward at Wabash College, Crawfordsville.
At the age of thirteen years> he commenced clerking, and continued in that
business for seven years, when, on account of failing health, he took up the
vocation of a farmer and pursued it until January, 1883, when he purchased the
drug store of A. F. Moore & Co., one door east of the post office. He is doing a
fine business, and carries a stock of $4,000, consisting of drugs, books,
stationery, paints, oils, carpets and wall-paper. The up-stairs of his place of
business is beautifully and conveniently arranged for displaying carpets and
wall paper. He was married at Tipton, November 5, 1874, to Miss Eva Shank, and
has a family of three children, namely, Caleb, Jessie and Mary. Politically, Mr.
Evans is a Republican, and is also a member of the Odd Fellows.
