Evans, James H., Herkimer, was born in Granville, Washington county, N. Y., 
November 14, 1839.  He received a good education in the schools of Cohoes, and 
at an early age entered the employ of the Ogden Mills there, later on assuming 
charge of the spinning rooms, and in 1869, became identified with the knitting 
industry in Cohoes.  He came to Herkimer in 1877, and entered the employ of 
Morris Mark, with whom he remained until the formation of the Gem Knitting 
Company, four years ago, of which he became the leading partner and practical 
head.  The other members of the concern are H.A. Deimel, C.R. Snell, and M.A. 
Deimel.  Employment is furnished to 150 hands, and Swiss Ribbed Underwear in 
cotten, wool and silk is produced, three hundred dozen being turned out per 
day.  The factory is a large three-story brick building with basement and 
contains all modern improvements and machinery.  The products are disposed of 
through their New York office at 48 Leonard street.  Mr. Evans is a thirty-
second degree Mason.
