The Washington Republican
Washington County
Friday
July 9, 1897

Nancy SCOTT was born Sept. 4th, 1819, near West Liberty, Ohio, and died at
Washington, Kansas, July 5th, 1897, aged 77 years, 10 months. In 1837 she was
married to Thos. D. EVANS, with whom she lived till 1858, at which time her
husband died, leaving her to care for 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls, one of the
girls having died during young womanhood. Upon mother Evans fell the trials
incident to raising and caring for a family in those early days and so well was
this act performed that a more affectionate family toward one another, can
scarcely be found. During her last long and painful illness, no act was left
undone, to relieve her suffering, that loving hands could do, and with her,
everything that was done for her,"was just right."
Mother Evans joined the Methodist church when quite young and has remained a
consistent member of the that church till the day of her death. She has always
led a quiet life, but one one was ever turned away from her door hungry. If she
ever had an enemy it was never made known.
In early days the "Evans" family donated a piece of land to be used as a
cemetery which place is known as "Mt. Tabor," in Champaign, Co., Ohio. Three
churches have been built on this ground. The first was a log church which stood
as a place of worship till 1840, at which time a large stone structure was
erected. In 1880 a fine brick edifice was erected which will stand for many
decades. The grounds are surrounded by a substantial iron fence. It is her that
mother Evans will lie by the side of her husband and daughter beneath the
shadows of a large oak tree, there to remain till God shall gather all His
people into that blessed union above. May our last days be life her's.
