OBITUARY
CHARLES EVANS
MR. CHARLES EVANS, WHO DIED JANUARY 21, 1895, WAS BORN IN WALES IN 1842 AND
IN EARLY INFANCY EMIGRATED WITH HIS PARENTS TO AMERICA AND SETTLED IN
GRANVILLE. OHIO, WHERE HE SPENT HIS BOYHOOD DAYS. HE BECAME A CITIZEN OF
URBANA IN 1861. HE WAS MARRIED TO ELIZABETH MYERS, A NATIVE OF CINCINNATI IN
1868, REV. MR. TUTTLE, OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, OF URBANA, BEING THE
OFFICIATING MINISTER. HE REMOVED TO RUSHVLLLE, IND., IN 1871, WHERE THREE
CHILDREN, ANNA, JOHN AND CHARLES, WERE BORN.
HE AGAIN REMOVED TO URBANA IN 1880 WHERE THE FAMILY HAVE SINCE RESIDED. OF
THE PARENT FAMILY, ON HIS SIDE, HE HAS A MOTHER LIVING IN URBANA WITH THE FAMILY
OF THE DECEASED, A BROTHER AND SISTER IN MICHIGAN, A BROTHER IN GRANVILLE, O.,
AND A SISTER, MRS. D. J. THOMAS, LIVING EAST OF URBANA. THIS IS THE FIRST BROKEN
LINK IN THE FAMILY CHAIN, AND NO SACRIFICE BEING TOO GREAT TO MAKE ONE FOR THE
OTHER, THAT BEING ESPECIALLY TRUE OF THE KIND HUSBAND AND FATHER, IT IS HARD TO
REALIZE HOW DEEPLY THE BEREAVED ONES MUST FEEL THEIR LOSS. BEING A GENTLEMAN
OF THE PUREST HABITS AND DOING UNTO ALL MEN AS HE WOULD WISH TO BE DONE BY,
OUR LOSS WILL BE REGRETTED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM. THESE WORDS OF THE POET ARE
HIS FITTING EPITAPH: "AN HONEST MAN IS THE NOBLEST OF GOD."
