OBIT # 5171 - EASTERN CHRONICLE - FEBRUARY 12, 1948 Liverpool born, Welsh descent, Canadian raised, men of JOHN W. EVANS type are rare, a sorrowing community was realizing this week, as it paid tribute to a man of long life and worthy attainments who came up the ladder the hard way. The beginning was as a tiny emigrant lad, six years of age, settled on a McLellan's Brook farm, something like seventy-seven years ago. Master workmen who easily fall into a habit of classifying themselves as product of the County of Pictou shops and blood of the same land probably in skill were epitomized by the English born craftsmen whose talent equalled all. Industrial records anywhere will not often show an eighty-three year old man whose services to his employers were so valuable as to prevent superannuation, with the workman's consent. At six, JOHN WILLIAM EVANS, son of a man of the same name, came from Liverpool to the ALEXANDER CAMPBELL farm at MacLellan's Brook. In his teenshe served his time as an apprentice blacksmith with JOHN STEWART, later with Mr.Stewart worked at fabricating and erecting bridges, and still later followed the same trade with the MacNeil bridge concern. Here and there throughout Nova Scotia are bridges, solidly built, standing the test of time and commercial progress- a leader in their construction was John Evans. In War One he was one of the earlier workmen to be engaged in shell making at the steel works. Since shortly after the first war's end he was engaged with the Acadia Coal Company as repair workman. At eighty-three a strong and vigorous man, his faculties unimpaired, his judgement sound, a life of ease in retirement was spurned. To the day of his death, Monday, Feb.9th, he was listed with Acadia Coal Company officials, a valued, trusted employee, that the company was glad to retain in its active ranks. Some knew Mr.Evans in his work, others in his church, others as good neighbour and friend, and still more as sportsman. He was the oldest of the elders in the Session of Westminster Presbyterian Church, an office he had faithfully discharged since 1914; many years he had lived on Willow Avenue with his wife, FLORIDA FRASER. In that hospitable dwelling abiding friendships were made. Lonliness in age was spared him- contemporaries were younger in years but not in spirit, and near him always were good wife and fine family. A son, GEORGE, predeceased him seventeen years ago. Living in New Glasgow is the elder son, WILLIAM; granddaughter, Miss GEORGINA, and at Merigomish his daughter, JEAN, Mrs. (Councillor) John W. MacDonald, andgrandchildren FRASER and MARY. Keenly mourning the demise also with thefamily are Miss PRISCILLA FRASER, sister of Mrs.Evans, who resided with them, and a niece, Miss Betty Fraser, Montreal. In fraternal orders he had taken a prominent role in younger life. He had attained high rank in the Orange Order, and three years ago the Sons Of England had honored him with presentation of a Fifty Year Jewell. On his 80th birthday in 1945 the Bluenose Curlers presented him with an engraved tray. The same year Mr.and Mrs. Evans celebrated their golden wedding. Death which comes to all men came to JOHN EVANS suddently, as he would have wished. Monday as was his custom when weather interferred with his duties at the Allan Shaft he attended the Curling Rink. Enroute home he was fatally stricken. So passed from to eternity an exceptionally fine man. The funeral service was held Thursday afternoon in the Westminster Church, with his minister, Rev.Hugh Munroe,D.D. officiating. Interment was at Riverside Cemetery.
