Classification: Obituary
Surnames: Evans, Griswold, Clement, McCotter
Died: At her home in this city, Mrs. Emma Clement Evans, Monday, February 6, aged 78 years.
The deceased was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, and is the last of a family of ten. In the year 1854, June 1, she was married at La Porte, Indiana, to Dr. J. M. Evans. Since that time this place has been their home.
Three children were born to them, two of which survive and reside here, Mrs. E. E. Griswold and Dr. J. M. Evans, Jr.
Here in the town named for them, this venerable couple has wrought their life work and made their influence felt in every good cause.
All that could be said in praise of a christian man and woman and the radiating influence of heir lives is due to Dr. and Mrs. Evans.
For over thirty years the deceased has been an active worker in the Episcopal church here. To her almost unaided efforts was due the organization of that society and the building of St. John's church.
The funeral occurred from the house Thursday afternoon, the Rev. Noble Palmer of St. Paul officiating assisted by a quartette choir consisting of Mesdames P. C. Wilder and E. J. Ballard and Messrs J. C. Gillies and F. S. Clinch. The pall bearers were Messrs., F. M. Crow, Dr. F. E. Colony, L. Van Wart, Geo. L. Pullen, J. P. Porter and Geo. H. Clark.
Several relatives of the deceased from out of town came to pay their last tribute, among them were: Mr. Cooper of Plymouth, Indiana; Dr. Evans' sister, Mrs. McCotter of Geneva, Wis; Mr. and Mrs. Holland, Mr. Wm. Hannah, Mrs. Kendall and Mr. Wm. Bennett of Chicago; and Mr. Waite of Duluth, Minnesota. Mr. C. A. Hollister of Ravenswood, Ill., came to attend the services.

Mrs. Emma Clement Evans, wife of Dr. J. M. Evans, Sr., aged 82 years, departed this life on Monday evening, Feb. 6, 1899.
This death comes upon our community very suddenly, her sickness only dating from last week Tuesday, with no apparent specific disease aside from a general breaking down from age and a long active, useful life, the whole of which has been principally spent in this place. She was the mother of three children, two of whom survive her, Dr. J. M. Evans, Jr., and Mrs. Elizabeth Emma Griswold, who with their father have the deepest sympathy of this entire community in which they are all held in the highest esteem.
The funeral will be held at the residence on Main St., Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
