Death of Fred Evans
From a letter received by Dan Bales from Frederick Jas. Evans, the eldest son of Fred Evans, we learn of the latter's death, which occurred in Boston, Mass., on the 15th inst. He was employed as an engineer and went to work at 7 o'clock in the morning. Arriving at the engine house previous to other workmen, he climbed a ladder to oil some overhead shafting. The ladder toppled and he fell, striking his head against one of the engine cylinders, fracturing his skull. He never regained consciousness, dying at 5 o'clock.
Deceased was well known in Huntington, where he had many friends who will join his children in mourning his death. He was formerly a sailor, and the editor of the Herald remembers that he was many times delightfully entertained by his tales of the sea. He loved the ocean and after the death of his wife here several years ago he returned to Boston, where he had relatives and where he could catch occasional glimpses of his old true love, the sea. The children -- Frederick, Gladys, Eddie and Archie -- are all in Boston and will reside with relatives. Frederick must surely be a man by this time. Their many friends in Huntington send them expressions of sympathy and love in their great bereavement.
