EVANS, FANNIE ADELINE
(21 Jul 1910, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. G. W. Evans Dead
It is our sad function in this issue of the Altruist to chronicle the
death of Mrs. G. W. Evans, who died at her home in south Erick about 5
o'clock p.m., Friday July 15.
Fannie Adeline Evans was born in Hickman county, Kentucky, November 22,
1834.  Together with her family she removed to Missouri in 1884, from
there to Texas in 1890 and to Oklahoma in 1901.  Mrs. Evans had been a
great sufferer for a number of years and had been unable to rise from her
bed since August 10, 1908.  During these last two years she has been
tenderly cared for by her devoted husband, a larger portion of suffering
than most people have been called upon to bear furnishes unquestioned
evidence that all was well between her and her God.  Funeral services were
conducted by her neighbor, Rev. C. P. Browning, Saturday morning July 16
and interment was made at the Erick cemetary.  Mrs. Evans is survived by
her husband, G. W. Evans, and three sons, G. M. of southeast Missouri, G.
J., who lives seven miles Southeast of Erick and W. H. Evans who lives
with her.  Besides these there are 19 grandchildren and numerous other
relatives less near akin to her, all of whom sincerely mourn her death but
are comforted by the knowledge that if such knowledge can be humanly
acquired that their loved one has been mercifully relieved from pitiable
human suffering and is now glorious with the Christ whom she so faithfully
served.  Owing to her physical inability to get out Mrs. Evans had not a
wide circle of personal acquaintances.  Her devoted husband and son who
lived with her, were untiringly attentive to her in her helplessness and
they, perhaps, more keenly than the rest, will feel bereft because of her
demise.  The people of this community extend to Mrs. Evans surviving loved
ones their most sincere condolence.
Her husband, two of her sons and several of her grandchildren were present
when the end came.
Messrs. G. W., W. H. and G. J. Evans wish to express their appreciation to
the neighbors and friends who were so kind to them during the hours of
their loved ones illness.
