Bert Evans, 68, a life-long resident of Sebewa township, was found dead in the 
driver's seat of his automobile in the yard of an abandoned farm about 8 o'clock 
last week Wednesday night.

Coroner Harry Myers of Ionia said Evans apparently had been dead for several 
hours. His death was attributed to a sudden attack of heart trouble. According 
to members of the family Evans suffered a heart attack about two weeks ago but 
appeared to recover. He had attended an auction sale at the home of Fay Bissel, 
of Sebewa township, only a short distance east fo the location of the car. 
Coroner Myers said he believed Evans had known he was about to suffer an attack 
and drove his car carefully into the yard where he turned off the switch.His 
pipe was lying on his chest where it had fallen.

Evans car was seen parked in the yard of a farm owned by Mildred Ensworth about 
a mile directly north of the Evans farm at 3:45 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. 
Evans was found dead in the car by Paul Bishop and Robert McRea, nearby 
neighbors.

Evans had lived in Sebewa practically all his life coming to the township when 
but a small child from Bath where he was born. He is survived by two sons, 
Herbert W.Evans of Lake Odessa, and a daughter Mrs.Sidney Brown of Sebewa 
township.
