William Evans was born Jan. 31, 1835, in Richburg, N. Y., and died April 17, 1918, at his home in Nashville, Tenn., being 83 years old. Mr. Evans spent about 30 years in New York, and 30 years in Missouri. About the year 1870 the light of present truth came to him and he accepted it, in which faith he proved faithful and steadfast unto the end of his days. Brother Evans was president of the Missouri Conference of Seventh-day Adventists for one year, and secretary and treasurer of the same conference for a period of 15 years. In the year 1885 he moved to St. Louis, Mo., where he took charge of city mission work for a term of four years. In the year 1897 he and family moved to the Bay Islands and engaged in Mission School work for eight years. He also spent one year
in Jamaica and then returned to the States, making his home in Nashville the rest of his days. In the year 1858, October 21, William Evans and Miss Emma Newton were united in marriage. This couple walked together along' life's journey for nearly sixty years. Sister Evans is still living, but is confined to her bed in a paralyzed condition. Her faith in God is strong. To this union three children were born, all of whom are now living,—Dr. Newton Evans of Loma Linda, Cal.; Mrs. C. B. Hughes of Jamaica, West Indies, and Mrs. W. T. Pitcher of Nashville, Tenn., who was at the bedside of her father when he died. He was a kind and thoughtful husband and a loving father, and was sympathetic to those in need. He has always been very liberal, several times giving homes to those without homes, and donated liberally to the cause he loved, many times denying himself. He died in strong faith of the resurrection morning, and in Jesus' power to call him forth. He was heard to say in his last days that if it be the Master's will, to let him rest, and have mercy on all. Brother Evans is survived by his wife, one son, two daughters and six grandchildren, and a host of friends. We have every reason to believe that our brother sleeps in Jesus, and we laid him to rest in the beautiful Spring Hill Cemetery. The services were conducted by Elder James Bellinger.
