BELLEVUE. August 3—Funeral services for Mrs Mary Evans of Battle Creek,
were held at the V. O. Johnson chapel, Sunday and were conducted by the
Reverend
Bradley, pastor of the Mennonite church of Battle Creek, who was assisted
by the Reverend Burgess.

Mrs Evans was formerly Mary Barns and was born in Lowell, May 6, 1849,
married in 1868 to Levi Evans of Bellevue. They lived here until Mr Evans
death a few years ago, since which time Mrs Evans has lived in Battle Creek.

On Wednesday she was struck by a street car at the city bank corner in
Battle Creek, and quite severely injured, was taken to Nichols hospital
for treatment, and later taken to the home of her son, Carl, on Hunter
street.

Her injury was not considered serious at first, but owing to her advanced
age, the shock terminated fatally.

She leaves three sons, Carl, at whose home she died, Loren O., and Carroll,
all of Battle Creek.
