Valley Echo, 11 Oct 1890
Elizabeth Snyder was born at Philipsburg, New Jersey, June 3, 1801 and died 
at Penfield, Pa. Oct. 4, 1890.  When quite young, she came to Luzerne Co. 
Pa. where at Wilkesbarre, in 1821 she was married to Wm. B. Evans who died 
at Weedville, Pa. Oct. 22 1874. In 1857 the family moved to this section.

Seventeen children were born to the couple, of these, Ann, widow of Joseph 
Buskirk, Mrs. Caroline Wallace, Alfred, Mrs. Harriet Guckhaven, Peter, Mrs. 
John Wright, and Martin B.S. are living.  Grandmother Evans other 
descendants number 39 grandchildren, 82 great grandchildren and 5 great 
great grandchildren.

About 16 years ago, Mrs. Evans joined the Presbyterian church.  In her last 
hours her whole thought was religion.

The funeral in the Methodist Church on Monday was very largely attended.  By 
an unfortunate coincidence, all of the three ministers of our place were 
absent, and Rev. M. Miller of DuBois conducted the services preaching a fine 
sermon from the text "Blessed are the dead that died in the Lord &c."  Thos 
B. Buoy was funeral director and the interment was made in Bundy Cemetery.
