BROUGHT TO WENONA FOR BURIAL
"Albert Evans was born in Licking County, Ohio, December 21, 1827, and died in Nevada, Missouri, July 19, 1894, aged 66 years, 6 months, 28 days. In August, 1830 his parents Joshua and Elizabeth Evans, removed from Ohio to Illinois, and settled on Sandy Creek, then in LaSalle county, but now in Marshall County. Here on what has been known as the Joshua Evans farm, now owned by Dell Kemp, Albert grew to manhood.
During his boyhood and youth-time he was recognized by all who knew him as one of the best boys in the community. He was industrious, thoughtful and quiet. He enjoyed innocent recreation, but never participated in any malicious mischief, nor indulged in any sport that could possibly injure others. His principals along these lines were so well-known that the boys of the neighborhood passed him by when proposing any questionable conduct.
On the 4th of April 1855, he was united in marriage with Miss Harriet Springer, and they made their home on what was then known as the Beatty farm and now owned by S. J. White, which Mr. Evans had purchased about a year before. In October 1865, they left the farm and moved to Wenona, where they remained until November 1879, when they returned to their farm. In March 1884, they removed to Nevada, Missouri, where they remained until his death.
Albert Evans was converted in February 1861 under the ministry of Rev. A. A. Cowen, and joined the M.E. church, of which he was a consistent and active member to the close of life. His church relation was not nominal. He filled nearly every official position in the church and always to the entire satisfaction of his brethren. He served as school treasurer for Evans Township for 32 years, and as Justice of the Peace for 11 years.
He was an honest, faithful and conscientious man. He had the confidence of all who knew him, and never betrayed their confidence. He was cheerful in his disposition, and had such control of his temper that he was always quiet and severe even in the midst of provocations. He was a kind father and an affectionate husband. His widow, 3 sons and 3 daughters are left to mourn his loss.
The remains were brought to Wenona last Saturday, and after funeral services conducted by Rev. Riason, in the C.P. church where the M.E. people have been holding services the past few weeks on account of repairs and painting being done on their own house of worship, interment took place at the Cherry Point cemetery on Sandy."
