He is the son of Joseph and Mary L.A. Sauers Evans.
Absalom bought a plot in Brown's Wonder Cemetery but his obituary says he is in Union Cemetery (Old Union). There is no record of him at either cemetery and no stone at either. Because the trustee has a plot for him at Brown's Wonder, I can assume he is next to his wife.
