The Enterprise-Chronicle, Osage County, Thursday, June 5, 1941
Funeral Services For Evan EVANS Held Here Tuesday.
Funeral services for Evan EVANS, 83, were held at the C.L. Carey Mortuary, on
Tuesday afternoon June 2, at 2 o'clock, Rev. E.C. WOLTERS, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, officiating. Fred Cones and Harry Harkness furnished the
music. Burial was made in the Burlingame cemetery.
Mr. Evans passed away at St. Francis hospital in Topeka on Monday, June 1,
following an illness of about two weeks.
Evan Lewis Evans, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. David Thoms Evans, was born at
Palmyra, Ohio, December 19, 1857. He came to Kansas with his parents when a
child of eight years. They settled on a farm on Dragoon creek west of Burlingame
in the pioneer days of Osage county. He grew to manhood here when the country
was new and the life hard. Most of his life was spent in Osage county, where he
engaged in coal mining and farming. Being broken in heath he has spent most of
the last 15 years in Topeka.
"Sport," as he was familairly known around here, will be remembered for many
things, among them honesty, courage and a man of his word. Those who were his
friends will remember him as a man they respected and admired, and will
understand when it is said that "Sport" was his own worst enemy.
He is survived by one sister, Mrs. J.E. George of this city, and one brother,
Ben Evans of Wichita, both of whom were present for the funeral service.
