membership at her death. Mrs. Evans was a splendid christian woman. A woman of 
noble impulses and strong convictions of right, she loved purity and 
genuineness of character. There survive her three children, Charles Evans, 
Miss Lizzie Evans and Mrs. Maria Sleeper, all residing in the city.

The funeral services will be conducted from the family residence, at 10 
o'clock tomorrow morning by her pastor, Rev. U. S. Thomas. Interment at
