General Notes: Husband - Oliver Evans, Jr.

---

He was educated in the public schools and Millersville Normal School. At the age of nineteen, in 1872, he began farming on a farm of ninety-six acres, purchased for him by his father. He prospered wonderfully and added to his original acres many of those adjoining, until his estate contained two hundred and fifty compact well-improved, fertile acres, on which he erected a beautiful country residence. For many years he made a specialty of dairy farming, but beginning in 1909 lived retired at his comfortable home, overlooking a beautiful stretch of the Lincoln Highway, not far from McKeesport. He was a Democrat in politics, was township supervisor for five years and president of the school board nine years. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Fraternal Order of Eagles and both he and his wife were communicants of the Presbyterian church.
