Evelyn Lee Adams, known as "Evie Lee," was the third child of George Foster and Amanda Adams. She was married to John Thomas Evans in Clinton, KY, on January 28, 1891. They had three children: (1) Virginia Belle Evans; (2) Florence Evans; and (3) Arthur Moss Evans. The family moved, in 1901, with Evie Lee's mother and brother, to San Antonio (presumably for health reasons).
At some point, probably around 1909, John Evans left Evie Lee and his children. By 1920 Evie Lee describes herself in the census as "widowed" (repeating this deceptive description in 1930) -- though the truth is more cloudy and embarrassing. In 1910, by contrast, she had described herself as "divorced".
In 1910, John was living in the Crockett Hotel in San Antonio, with a new wife (possibly bigamous) named Valeria. They claim to have been married for 1 year (a "second" marriage for both). He describes himself as working in "real estate" (which was also the 1910 career description of his brother-in-law, Robert Walton Adams).
By 1920, John and "Vallie" are living in Eastland, Texas (he is now working in the oil field). In 1934, John's death certificate describes him as being back in San Antonio and "single". He died of kidney failure and chronic alcoholism and was buried in a pauper's grave in San Jose (south of San Antonio). His death certificate information was provided by his son-in-law, O. E. Latimer (husband of Florence).
