General Notes: Husband - Jesse Benner Evans
He was raised on a farm, receiving the education the public schools afforded. In early life he studied dentistry, and practiced his profession at Phoenixville, Chester County, Pennsylvania, until 1855, when he removed to a farm of ninety-seven acres. His farm lay on the State road from West Chester to Pottstown, midway between them. He served seven years as school director, and one term as justice of the peace, and at least two terms as magistrate. He was a member of the Windsor Baptist Church, with his family, and to which he liberally contributed. He was originally a Democrat, but on the repeal of the "Missouri Compromise," in 1854, attached himself to the Republican party. He belonged to the Patrons of Husbandry, and at one time was Master of Grange Lodge, No. 53. In 1853 he joined Phoenix Lodge, No. 75, A. and Y. M., and was afterwards a charter member of Williamson Lodge, No. 309, of Downingtown, of which he was its second Worshipful Master. He subsequently, as a charter member, aided in the organization of Mount Pickering Lodge, No. 446, of which he was the first Worshipful Master.
