General Notes: Husband - James Evans

---

He was reared in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and educated in Jefferson College, Canonsburg, from which he graduated in 1861. He began the study of law in 1863, with James I. Kuhn, of Pittsburgh; was admitted to the bar in 1865, and thereafter had an office in McKeesport. In 1887 he was instrumental in starting the Bank of McKeesport, of which he became president, after which he gave his attention to his banking and real-estate interests, and did not actively engage in the practice of law. In 1886, with other parties, he purchased the McKeesport Gristmills, formed the McKeesport Milling company, and made extensive improvements in the property by enlarging it and fitting the same with all modern improvements in machinery, etc., and increasing its capacity from fifty to two hundred barrels per day. The mills were successfully conducted by this company until December 9, 1887, when they were completely destroyed by fire. Mr. Evans always took an active interest in the improvement of McKeesport real estate, and laid out a tract of fifty-six acres in lots in the Third ward, known as East Park.
He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church; in politics, a republican.
