General Notes: Husband - Dr. William Connely Evans

---

He acquired a literary education in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, read medicine with Dr. B. Gillett and graduated from the Western Reserve Medical College in 1854. He commenced the practice of medicine in the city of Franklin, Pennsylvania. In 1862, he moved to Erie County, settling in North East, where he remained five years. Afterward he accepted a professorship in Kansas City College of Physicians and Surgeons. In that city he resided until 1876; during the last two years spent there, he had charge of the City Hospital. The doctor returned to Erie city in 1876, and engaged in the practice of medicine there. He was appointed Colonel by Gov. William F. Packer and organized the 10th Pennsylvania Reserves; this regiment is noted for having done much valuable service in the Civil War. About the year 1870 he removed to Kansas City, Missouri, and in 1871 was appointed by Mayor William Warner to the office of City Physician, and reappointed for the year 1872 by Mayor R. H. Hunt. In politics, he was a Democrat. He was a member of the Central Presbyterian Church; Mrs. Evans of the Episcopal Church.

He was a member of the Erie Medical Society, and was at one time its president; also served eleven years consecutively as its secretary. He was also a member of the State and National Medical Associations, and also one of the United States Pension examiners. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Lodge No. 61, the Equitable Aid Union, No. 50, of the Knights of Honor, No. 99, the Erie Lodge of Elks and of the Masonic order in various branches. His framed picture hung on the walls of the Franklin Masonic temple-he having had the distinction of being the first master of Myrtle Lodge.
