THE LATE CHARLES EVANS. - The Lockport Bee has the following upon the death of Col. Charles Evans, a brief notice of which appeared in our columns yesterday.
We announce this melancholy event with feelings of sadness and regret, in which the whole community will share. His loss will be sincerely mourned by numerous and devoted friends, to whom he had endeared himself by his generous and manly character.
Col. Evans was a son of the late David E. Evans, so prominently distinguished in the early history of the Holland Land Purchase. He came to this place twenty-five years ago, at the early age of 18, to engage as Teller in the Lockport Bank and Trust Company. His courteous manners and remarkable aptitude for business affairs, soon made him a general favorite. He became proverbial for business accuracy, promptness and capacity.
For some years he owned and carried on one of our principal flouring mills. During this time our millers were subject to serious losses, and suffered great disasters, in which he bore his part with cheerful equanimity, and soon engaged in other useful pursuits. He discharged several public trusts, including the office of Supervisor of this town.
In 1861, immediately after the commencement of the war, he accepted a position in the Adjutant General's office at Albany, where he devoted himself to his duties with patriotism and fidelity. Here his great intelligence, with his admirable talent for business, and the dispatch of affairs, however complex, was brought into requisition. For nearly four years he rendered valuable service to the State and country.
In the social circle he displayed those fine qualities of head and heart which win affection and regard. He was genial, true and generous to a fault, ever ready to assist the unfortunate and to sacrifice his own interest for the welfare of others. All his impulses were disinterested and noble. His name and memory will long be cherished, not only by numerous kindred, but by a large circle of attached and constant friends.
The funeral of Col. Evans will be held at the house of his father-in-law, Lyman A. Spalding, on Sunday, at 2 o'clock P. M.
