CLARENCE A. BEVANS

  Mrs. Maude Klock was called to Muncie, Ind., Wednesday, Oct. 9, owing to the 
sudden death of her brother, Clarence Ambrose Bevans, 63, who died suddenly that 
morning of a heart attack.
  Mr. Bevans was the son of the late Mary Eliza Jordan and Ambrose Bevans, and 
was born on the Ridgeley Farm near Grantsville, April 8, 1883.
  He was educated in the Garrett County public schools and Catherman's Business 
School, Cumberland.
  He was employed in the Jennings Bros. company store at Jennings, Md., and the 
Dull Mercantile stores in Meyersdale and Jenners, Pa.
  In 1923 he went to Chicago and was employed by an insurance company.
  During his last nine years he was a local agent for the Jefferson National 
Life Insurance Company at Muncie, Ind., and was widely known.
  Mr. Bevans married Miss Maude Erhard, of Clearfield, Pa., Oct. 9, 1905.  He is 
survived by his wife and one sister, Mrs. Klock; a sister-in-law, Mrs. Ray 
Bevans, and a nephew, Charles Bevans, both of Chicago.
  He was a member of the Methodist Church, the Elks Lodge, of Muncie, and the 
Masonic Lodge of Des Plaines, Ill.
  Funeral services were conducted Thursday night in a Muncie mortuary chapel.  
Dr. A. Wesley Pugh, his pastor, officiated.  The body was then taken to a 
funeral home in Curwensville, Pa., where further services were held Saturday 
afternoon, Oct. 12, followed by interment in the Crown Crest Memorial Park, 
Clearfield, Pa.
  Mr. and Mrs. Bevans visited their sister here last August.  He was always glad 
to visit his former home town and many friends here.
