Rome Sentinel October 22, 1908
Stokes, Oct. 22 - This community was greatly saddened to learn of the death of 
Mrs. Dolly Ann Evans, who passed peacefully away at 3 o’clock this morning. 
Mrs. Evans had been in feeble health for a long time, suffering with asthmatic 
trouble, but on Friday, Oct. 16, there was a change for the worse, since which 
time she had failed rapidly. Dolly Ann Littaye was born at Constableville, 
December 16, 1823, a daughter of Noel and Abigail Littaye, and was one of a 
family of seven children, whose names follow; Charles Littaye, who died July 9, 
the present year, Horace, Laura, Clarissa Gilbert and Warren, all of whom have 
passed away, and one sister, Mrs. Laura Parkhusrt of Constableville. On April 
1, 1862, she was united in marriage with William M. Evans of Constableville and 
soon removed to West Branch residing there about one year, from whence they 
removed to Stokes, where the remainder of her long and useful life was spent. 
Oct. 10, 1896, her husband was removed by death from which time she had made 
her home with her daughter, Mrs. Nathan H. Snyder, and been kindly cared for. 
She was the mother of three children, Jennie F. Snyder, the above daughter, 
Frank G. Evans, who conducts a milk route at Rome, and Clinton L. Evans, who 
resides at this place; also the following grandchildren: Miss Grace Snyder, 
Glenn Snyder, Misses Matte and Ethel Evans, and Howard Evans of Stokes, Misses 
Maude, Ruth and Irene Evans of Rome. It is needless perhaps to say that her 
death has cast a gloom over the whole community, where she was loved and 
respected for her beautiful character and excellent qualities. She was a member 
of the ME Church at Lee Center and was a regular attendant so long as health 
permitted. Much sympathy is extended to the bereaved relatives over the loss of 
their loved one, who is now gathered to her eternal rest. Funeral services will 
be held from her late residence on Sunday, Oct. 25, at 1 o’clock pm with 
interment at Evergreen Cemetery.
