JOHN E. EVANS, farmer, P. O. Kenton, was born on the old homestead, in Delaware County, Ohio, January 7, 1847. He is a son of John and Maria Evans, with whom he had come to Hardin County, where they settled. He is next to the youngest son living, and twin brother to David C. Evans. He was reared on the homestead, in Buck Township, and secured a fair education from the common schools. On February 22, 1876, he married Miss Jennie, a daughter of Francis B. and Nancy (Conner) Slagle, and a native of Ross County, Ohio, born March 3, 1852. No children have blessed this union.
