   DAVID EVANS, farmer, P. O. Kenton, was born in Wales, June 20, 1813. He is a
son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Jones) Evans. (See sketch of John Evans.) David was
the youngest of five children, two living John and David. The deceased are Mary,
Margaret and Magdalena. Our subject was reared on the homestead, and obtained a
fair education from the common schools. At an early age, he began providing for
his mother and a sister. In April, 1852, he sold his farm in Gallia County,
Ohio, and came to Hardin County. Here he bought 202 acres of land at $14 an
acre. He has since cleared the land, and has 125 acres under cultivation. He
assisted in cutting out and making the roads in his section of Buck Township,
and also gave a helping hand in founding churches and schools. He was largely
instrumental in the organization of the St. Paul Methodist Episcopal Church,
with which he has since been connected. In 1878, he erected his brick residence,
at a cost of $2,200. On January 9, 1833, he was united in marriage to Lovina, a
daughter of John Price, and born in Union County, Ohio, in September, 1816. This
union has been blessed with fourteen children, nine living, as follows:
Elizabeth, wife of James Bailey; Margaret, wife of Paul K. Sieg; Bethany, wife
of Ira Richards; Mary, wife of Thomas McElree; Thomas P.; Nancy A., wife of
Edward Moy; Phebe, wife of Charles White; William H., married to Mattie Weiser;
and Magdalene, wife of J. B. Jackson. The deceased are John, William H., Maria
and two infants. Mr. Evans and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. In politics, Mr. Evens is a Democrat, but has never sought office.
Thomas P. Evans, the eldest son of David Evans, was born in Delaware County,
Ohio, March 20, 1845. He was married, March 7, 1867, to Laura E., a daughter of
John and Saloma Tyler. She was born in Orleans County, N. Y., March 13, 1846.
