General Notes: Husband - J. Frank Evans

---

He was born in Hempfield township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, about one and a half miles east of New Stanton, on the old family place there. His early education was received at the local schools and he afterwards attended the Normal School at Greensburg, where he prepared himself for his career. He also studied for a time at the Normal School at Mount Union. He was but nineteen years of age when he began to teach in the county public school, and from that time until 1912 taught continually for twenty years with one break of two years time. His first position as teacher was at the Eisaman School, which was situated about two miles from Youngwood, where he was engaged for one year, and then five years at Mount Pleasant township. He then taught for a number of years at Ruffs Dale, but left the school there to accept the position of principal of the West Newton School. Three years later he became deputy county superintendent under Mr. Ulrich for the Westmoreland county school at Ruffs Dale, where he remained until about six years ago. For two years he held the position of township principal.
It was about 1902 when Mr. Evans came to live on his farm, which was situated about one mile east of Ruffs Dale. This property was long in possession of the Lowe family and there he planted quantities of valuable fruit. His operations there were very successful and he also engaged in the plumbing business on a small scale, this business extending to Ruffs Dale and other surrounding towns.
For eight years he was health officer of East Huntingdon and Mount Pleasant townships. In politics Mr. Evans was a staunch Republican, and an active worker for his party, serving on several committees. He served twelve years or more as a justice of the peace. The family were members of the Lutheran church at Ruffs Dale.
