Mrs. Mary E. Evans Of Sardis Dies At Daughter's Home

Mrs. Mary Jane Evans, age 88, died Sunday evening, July 13, at the home of 
her daughter, Mrs. J. L. Shelton. The entire community was shrouded in 
gloom with the passing of this noble Christian character. She united with 
the Sardis Baptist Church at an early age and joyfully spent her time in 
service for the Lord whom she loved. In the death of Grandmother Evans, her 
children lose a kind and loving mother, her friends a loyal advisor, and her 
Church a staunch worker.

Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. W. D. Sherwood at the Baptist 
Church. Interment was made in the Sardis Cemetery. Besides a host of 
friends, Mrs. Evans leaves to mourn her departure one son, G. W. Evans, 
three daughters, Mrs. J. L. Shelton and Mrs. John Shelton of Sardis, and 
Mrs. Ben Sermons of Montgomery, a large number of grandchildren, great 
grandchildren, and one great, great grandchild.
