"EVAN W. THOMAS.
Evan W. Thomas, fourth son of the late Thomas S. Thomas, Esq., of this county, died at his home in Philadelphia, Tuesday morning, October 11th, 1898, after a lingering illness of more than six months.
Mr. Thomas was born on North East, this county, September 13th 1829 and lived in that borough until the outbreak of the Slaveholder's Rebellion in 1861, when he enlisted in the service of the National Union and was commissioned First Lieutenant, Company I of the Fifth Maryland Volunteers, Col. Schley commanding. At the battle of Antietam he did valiant service until disabled by a severe wound in one of his legs. After his recovery he was mustered into the veteran corps, but soon after the close of the war he resigned his commission and returned to the pursuits of real life.
Mr. Thomas was converted when but eleven years old in a remarkable revival of religion under the labors of the late Rev. John Henry and even (sic ever) afterwards maintained a devout and strictly conscientious christian life, being an active and abiding member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in his native town as long as he resided there.
After the collapse of the Rebellion and his retirement from the army, he took up his residence in Philadelphia where he was married to Miss Martha G. Thomas, eldest daughter of the late Dr. Samuel Thomas of Whitby Hall. This lady survives him with three sons and three daughters.
Appropriate funeral services were held from his late home, Friday afternoon, October 14, interment in the graveyard of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church, Kingsessions, (sic) Philadelphia."
