He had been in poor health for about 3 years, and about the last of May 1906, he was taken sick while trying to plant some tobacco and from then to his death he never got able to do any more work. He went through the Civil War and was a faithful old soldier. The last year of the war he lost his voice and could not speak above a whisper for about one year. He raised 4 children, 3 girls and one boy; he leaves all of his children and his wife to mourn his loss. While we believe he has found a happier resting place at last, he had a hard time trying to make a supportfor his family; he was an honest upright,hard working man and had lots of sickness in his family. One of his daughters has been afflicted most of her life, not able to do anything, and her medicine and doctors bills were heavy on her father. Mr. Evans was a member of the Methodist church at Trinity, near the Person county line, and tried to serve his Master the very best he could up to his death, and said that he was willing to go. Our heart felt sympathy goes out to his bereaved family and friends. -------------------------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB NOTICE All documents placed in the USGenWeb Archives remain the property of the contributors, who retain publication rights in accordance with US Copyright Laws and Regulations.
