General Notes: Husband - George M. Evans
He obtained his education in the public schools. He was his father's farm assistant and later was engaged in the same occupation with others, continuing in agricultural work until reaching his twenty-third year. In 1895 he began operations in the oil and gas fields, starting as a tool dresser, but in 1909 became a contractor. He thereafter operated very successfully in Armstrong, Indiana, Westmoreland, Jefferson and Allegheny counties. In the spring of 1908 he moved his residence to New Kensington, from Goheenville, Armstrong County, and made that borough his home and business headquarters. He was elected president of the First National Bank of New Kensington, succeeding Dr. Elmer E. Patton, upon the latter's death, March 2, 1917; was president of State Construction Company; president of the Dispatch Printing Company, both of New Kensington; director of the Rachael Gas Coal Company of West Virginia; director and vice-president of the Hartley Oil Company; and was interested in other enterprises of his section.
Mr. Evans was a member of New Kensington Lodge, No. 644, Free and Accepted Masons; and in June, 1910, became a member of Coudersport Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, in which he has attained the thirty-second degree. In November, 1913, he was initiated into the mysteries of the Ancient Accepted Order, Nobles of the M ystic Shrine, in Syria Temple, Pittsburgh. He was "made a Mason" in 1907 in New Bethlehem, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and became a member of New Kensington Lodge by demit in 1914. He was a Republican in politics, and in religious matters broad and liberal in his views, generous in his contributions to all good causes.
