Evans, who was buried yesterday, was born at Llanelly, Cannasthershire, South Wales, in the year 1814. He emigrated to America in 1853, and located at Lain's Creek, Lycoming County. He came to this valley thirty-five years ago, and located at Pittston. He was there employed as inside foreman for David Morgan for a number of years, and then by Daniel Edwards, the present superintendent of the Kingston Coal Co., at Pittston. He then held a position as foreman to W.G. Payne at the East Boston mine at Luzerne Borough for four years. He then removed to Edwardsville and resumed his occupation as a miner until he became 72 years of age. He then abandoned the mines and started a little business of his own, and kept it until the time of his death, which occurred June 17. He is survived by his wife, son William, Mrs. Evan Thomas of Edwardsville and Mrs. George Woods of Kentucky. The funeral took place yesterday at 2 p.m. Rev. T.E.
