Bedford Weekly Mail, Bedford, In., Friday, Nov. 21, 1902 WILLIAM EVANS The funeral of William EVANS, who died Nov. 16th, was held at his late residence on West 18th street, Bedford, Indiana, conducted by Rev. A. M. IRVINE, of the Presbyterian church. Interment being at Green Hill Cemetery, his body was attended by his family and friends, the Stone Cutters Union and the Knights of Pythias, the latter having charge of the service at the grave. William EVANS, son of Andrew and Annie Miller EVANS, was born Feb. 17, 1861 in Belfast, Ireland; when he was about (unreadable) year old he came to St. John N. B. with his parents and there spent his boyhood and early manhood, also learning there his trade of stone-cutting. On the 23rd of Aug. 1880 he arrived in Boston, Mass. from St. John and there he was married to Sarah C. CAMPBELL in Aug. 1882. To them were born two children, Norine and William Andrew, who are eighteen and fifteen years of age respectively. A short while after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. EVANS came to Cleveland, Ohio, from Boston. From Cleveland they came to Bedford, Ind., when they have since lived. In 1884 he renounced all allegiance to Queen Victoria and became a citizen of U. S. A. In the fall of 1896, while building a jail in Newport, Ind., he became afflicted with rheumatism and gradually became an invalid. As great as was the change, from that of strong manhood to a condition of helplessness, he never complained, and as time wore on he became more patient and cheerful, trying to encourage all about him, and passed away held in esteem by the public, satisfied and willing to go.
