Her death was no surprise to her ______ has been ready to ______(large portion faded too much to read). Mrs. Evans was known and loved by our people. It needed not the pathos of suffering or the calm resignation of the invalid's latter days to endear her to many here. She was loved in Augusta as she was loved everywhere in Georgia, and in many places in the South, because she was an estimable, heroic Christian lady, gentle among the responsibilities of the household and courageous in all her relations in the world. As the wife of a brave and gallant Confederate officer, she accompanied the soldier in many of his movements, sharing the hardships of the life, and as consort to the active and popular Methodist minister, she accompanied him in his charges and was everywhere the devoted, inspiring and noble woman. Mrs. Evans was a Miss Walton of Stewart County, GA, having been married about thirty years ago, at the age of fifteen, to General Clement A. Evans. She lived to be the mother of eight children, five of whom survived, among them Mrs. Wm. F. Eve, and Mr. Lawton B. Evans, residents and well known in this community. Last year General Evans was induced by the ill health of his wife to withdraw from the North Georgia Conference and move to Augusta. The deepest sympathies of the entire people go out to General Evans and to the other members of the family of this affliction."

October 18, 1884: The friends of Rev. and Mrs. Clement A. Evans and family, of Mr. Lawton B. Evans, and of Judge and Mrs. Wm. F. Eve, are invited to attend the funeral services of Mrs. Clement A. Evans at 11 o'clock tomorrow, Saturday, morning, from the residence of the former on lower Greene Street (Augusta).
