by all who knew him," Captain Edmunds said. "He was a man of sterling character 
and charitable impulses and we deeply regret his loss."
Captain Evans was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church. He is survived by 
his wife, Mrs. Mary Regina Pompel Evans; three sisters, Mrs. John S. Drew and 
Mrs. Harry T. White, of Norfolk and Mrs. John M. Love, of Alexandria, La. and
