from reprint of "Clarke County Historical and Biographical Record" by Lewis Publishing, 1886. p.145.
MITCHELL L. EVANS, proprietor of livery stable at Murray, Clarke County, was born in Appanoose County, Iowa, September 3, 1851, a son of William G. Evans. He was reared to manhood on a farm in Clarke County, his education being obtained in the common schools of Washington Township. In 1878 he removed to Ward Township, where he followed farming till coming to Murray in 1882.
Mr. Evans was united in marriage April 16, 1878, to Miss Margaret J. Robinson, her father, Erastus Robinson, being a resident of Ward Township, Clarke County. Two children have been born to this union--Maude A. and Mabel J.
Mr. Evans established his present business on coming to Murray, being associated with his brother, Marshall O. Evans, until December 1, 1885. He then bought his brother's interest, and has since carried on his stable alone. He keeps on hand a number of fine horses and buggies, and vehicles of different kinds for the accommodation of his customers, and by his strict attention to business and his gentlemanly deportment he has built up a good business, which is steadily increasing. Mr. Evans is a member of the Knights of Pythias.
