Rome Sentinel May 3, 1921
Death claimed one of Rome's best citizens at 5:10 pm standard time on Monday, 
when Rev. Evan Vincent Evans passed away at his home, 720 N. Madison Street. 
His health had been failing gradually during the past 18 months. He was born in 
Oriskany August 4, 1848, son of the late Mr. & Mrs. William Vincent Evans. When 
only a few months old his parents moved to a farm in the village of Delta in 
the Town of Western. January 1, 1872 he married Miss Elizabeth Roberts who 
survives. At an early age he displayed a fondness for the study of theology and 
in it he became well versed and in had able service as a Methodist supply 
minister had occupied pulpits in Steuben, New London, Lee Valley and Delta, 
preaching in Delta for the last six months before the state took that village 
for a storage reservoir for the Barge Canal, now Lake Delta. Nineteen years ago 
he retired and for 17 years thereafter he lived in Lee Center, coming to Rome 
nearly two years ago. Rev. Mr. Evans' life had been an exemplary one. He was 
happy when tiling the soil and sincere when, on Sunday, he sought to picture to 
his fellowmen the message which Christ has left for the guidance of man in 
life. Besides his wife he is survived by these sons and daughters: E. Luther 
Evans, Syracuse, Mrs. Kathryn Thomas, at home, 720 N. Madison street, Willard 
Evans of Lee Center, Mrs. Arthur Slone and Mrs. Adolph Rebe of Lee Center, also 
six brothers and one sister, Hugh Evans, John , Lewis, Edward, George V., all 
of Lee Center, and William H. of Rome, and Mrs. Mary Pitcher of Clinton, and 
there are 11 grandchildren.
