Kokomo Tribune - Wednesday, June 13, 1934:
Andrew M. Everman, age 88, Civil War soldier, prominent businessman of Burlington for nearly half a century and a resident of Kokomo the last seventeen years, died at his home on Conradt Avenue Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock after an illness which had confined him to his bed three weeks.
Mr. Everman, a six-footer and always a soldierly figure, was overtaken by a stroke of paralysis a year ago last April. From that disorder, he seemed to recover quickly, but it was the beginning of a decline which progressed slowly, but steadily, and finally resulted in complete prostration.
Until the illness in April 1933 came upon him, he walked daily from his home to the downtown district, his trips being timed with such regularity that residents along the streets he traversed could almost set their clocks by his goings and comings. His stature, his erectness, and the martial bearing which marked him always made him a figure to be remembered. He was, too, a citizen of sterling worth, a neighbor in the truest sense, and was recognized by all who knew him as a Christian gentleman.
Andrew Martin Everman was born in Putnam County, Indiana on February 6, 1846 and resided there until his parents in 1858 removed to Carroll County, settling in the vicinity of Burlington in which locality he grew to manhood. He was only fifteen when the Civil War came on, but he enlisted as soon as he could get a recruiting post to accept him. He served one enlistment as a member of Company D, 116th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and another as a member of the 154th Regiment. The first period was spent with the Army of the Ohio, and the second was with the Army of the Shenandoah.
At the close of the war, he returned to Burlington where he engaged in farming and operating a sawmill for a year or two. He then became a partner in a general store, first with a man named Stockton and later with a man named Tapp. In all, he engaged in mercantile life in Burlington forty-eight years. He sold the business in the autumn of 1916 and retired, removing to Kokomo in November of that year.
On August 23, 1870, he married Miss Ophelia Collins of Burlington who, with two sons, Dr. Ord Everman of Indianapolis and Don Everman of this city, and two daughters, the Misses Zoe and Ava Everman, both at home, survive him. Surviving also are two siters, Miss Dora Everman and Mrs. S. W. Barnard, both of Burlington. A brother, Dr. Barton Warren Everman, a distinguished scientist, died in San Francisco in September 1932 and was buried in Burlington.
He was a member of the Main Street Christian Church and a faithful attendant at its services until illness made it impossible for him to make the trip to and from. His connection with the G.A.R. covered half a century, having begun with the post in Burlington. Upon becoming a resident of Kokomo, he transferred his membership to the T. J. Harrison Post here. On last Memorial Day, the local post had 13 members. Mr. Everman was the fourth of these to answer taps within the last fifteen days.
Funeral services will be held at the home at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon with the Rev. J. M. Horne of the Main Street Christian Church in charge. A short service will be held at the cemetery at Burlington where burial is to take place. The family earnestly requests that no flowers be sent.
