FORMER COUNTY RESIDENT DIES
Friends Here Receive Sad News of Death of E.N. Evans of York, Neb.
Newspaper clippings and letters to friends here tell of the death of Elsworth N. Evans, a former Manitowoc County resident, who died at York, Nebraska where he has resided since the removal of the family since 1877. Mr. Evans in company with S.A. Newell at one time conducted a flour mill at Cato Falls and is well remembered by friends here and to them the news of his death will be a shock. Besides the widow, one son survivese to revere the memory of a kind father.
Regarding the deceased, a York, Nebraska paper says, "Mr. Evans led a quiet conservative life which accounts in a large measure for his having attained such a ripe age. He was modest and unassuming in disposition, attending strictly to his own home and business, interfering and meddling with no one else. As a consequence, he had no enemies. Those who knew him learned to respect and love him. His moral influence was a positive character. There is something natural, beautiful and instructive in the death of Mr. Evans. He lived a clean, sober, steady, moral life and the Bible reward for such a life is that "he shall be gathered into his people in a good old age, an old man and full of years. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, life as a shock of corn is gathered in, in His Season."
