DEATH CLAIMS DR. J. M. EVANS
Local Physician Goes To Last Reward After Months of Suffering.
Many Mourn His Loss
Dr. John M. Evans was a life long resident of this city and a son of Dr. John M. Evans, the pioneer physician for whom Evansville was named, and Emma Clement Evans of La Porte, Ind., died at St. Mary's Hospital in Madison Monday afternoon, Jan. 7.
Dr. Evans was ill at his home for many months before he was taken to the hospital last November. Although the last weeks at St. Mary's were difficult ones he could not sufficiently express his appreciation of the unusual care and kindness which he received from the sisters and doctors while his own patience during his suffering gained the admiration of them all.
Dr. Evans was born in Evansville fifty-nine years ago. He was educated in the Evansville schools and Rush Medical College. In 1885, he married Miss May Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Johnson, of this city. After their marriage they spent a year in Vienna and London where Dr. Evans pursued his medical courses.
Following the precedent of his father he decided to make Evansville his field of service. After his father's death he maintained the interest in the Pioneer Drug Store which was established before the Civil War. He has been for many years consulting physician and surgeon for the Northwestern railroad.
Dr. Evans' unselfish and unswerving devotion to the people whom he served will be a comforting memory to them and his family. His high ideals for the medical profession were exemplified in his own life.
He has been a life-long and loyal member of St. John's Episcopal church which will feel keenly the loss of his support. The services were held from the family home Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Norris of Grace Church, Madison and Father Willman, of Trinity Church, Janesville, officating.
Dr. Evans belonged to Commandery No. 2 of Knight Templars, Janesville, and was always an active and enthusiastic member of Masonic bodies.
Dr. Evans is survived by Mrs. Evans, three children and a sister, Mrs. Edward Cary of Portland, Oreg. His daughter, Adelaide, and son John Clement, are graduates of the university and Richard is beginning his pre-medical course. Their many friends in Madison and Evansville grieve with them in the loss of their father.
