Notes on Horatio Evans and his three wives:
Note found in Charles Evans Bible which had been owned by Edward, nephew of Nelson Evans. The Bible was given to William Evans, now deceased. His wife Beulah does not know where it is in 1982. “Your grandfather Horatio Evans was born in the state of virginie on the 17 of march 1795 and Dide the 12 of january 1867 being 72 years old. your grandmother was Born in virginie on the 21 of october 1802.

“In Clark Co., Illinois on the Fraker farm on the Oak Grove Road about three miles east of Marshall, there are two unmarked graves at the site of a clump of locust trees on the bank of a pond. The graves are about 50 yards from the road and east of the road. They were pointed out to us [Loran and Hazel Evans] by Fenton Fraker, whose son now owns the farm. Mr. Fraker grew up there and remembers vividly from his childhood being shown these graves. A grave marker was erected here about 1965, made possible by donations from members of the Evans descendants.”
Charles Evans of Brazil, Indiana said his father Ed told him that Horatio N. was the son of “old Captain Ben Evans who came from Pennsylvania and settled in Ohio.” (Hazel Rupert Evans)
Grace Krider told Hazel Evans at the start of her genealogical research: “Horatio moved from Ohio to Clark County, Illinois ca 1840. Had two farms east of Marshall, after Belinda died, stepmother Lydia drove Nelson and Job away. Her daughters Missouri and Virginia inherited the estate. Nelson J. enlisted army. Civil War 1864 with 150th Illinois Volunteers. His brother Job enlisted in 1862 with Indiana Volunteers” (proved incorrect by administration of Horatio’s estate - Barbara Jean Evans).

Aunt Caroline came to Attica and worked as a housekeeper for a family until she decided to move to Circleville, where she died and is buried...[Grandfather Sorrells] used to gather marsh willows and make baskets with them. The day before he died, he walked about five miles to his youngest daughter’s home south of Attica and in the morning the next day, they found he had passed away in his sleep...My mother attended a reunion called Newkirk or Niekirk - that is where she found out about the Evans family at Brazil and she went to Brazil and visited them as I did later.”

Nelson Jeremiah Evans’s nickname was “Archie.” He wouldn’t let his wife hang curtains because they kept out the light. After he died, his wife hung curtains almost as soon as she came home from the funeral. She had hung some once and, when she came home, he had taken them down.
Archie wouldn’t let anyone complain about food. He said it was better than the maggoty meat eaten during the Civil War.
Jahiel Fugate was the brother-in-law of Jennie’s sister, Annie Fugate.
He suffered from chronic diarrhea, piles and discharge of kidneys.
Written to the pension bureau by Allen Evans: “Would like to know why $150.00 due Nelson Evans at his death for 3 mon. preceeding his death has not been sent to his widow. What kind of rules or red tape holds up money already due? Is it your intention to starve the widows to death before a pension is allowed.Yours truly Allen Evans her son.”
From “Men of the Civil War,” a series which ran in the Terre Haute (Indiana) Tribune about 1920:
Comrade Nelson Evans was a lad of fifteen, living at Marshall, Illinois, when war was declared and the first guns were fired at Fort Sumter. Just at the time that the struggle was breaking out in this country Mr. Evans lost his mother through a fatal illness and the fifteen year old boy was so stunned by this loss that it was two years later before he was able to throw aside his own personal grief and offer his services to his country.
It was in the spring of 1864 that Comrade Evans first left his home and his father and entered the army, enlisting as a member of the Fifty-fourth Illinois Volunteer Infantry. At this period of the war the rules governing the enlistment of men were not very strict but, at Mattoon, Illinois, his youth attracted the attention of one of the officers and he was not allowed to go south with the regiment. He returned to Marshall and remained there, working on the farm until August. He then made his way to Nashville, Tennessee and there succeeded in enlisting in the Quartermaster Department of the Army.
Three months later President Lincoln issued his last call to the citizens of the United States, asking for 300,000 volunteers to end the war. The rules regarding the ages of the men entering the army were still rather slack, so Comrade Evans made the most of this opportunity and enlisted as a member of the One Hundred and Fifty-second Illinois Volunteer Infantry. This was still in 1864, the year for the presidential election, and as many of the soldiers who could get away were leaving the ranks and coming home to vote. By train loads, by boat loads and by any other way they could travel, the men in blue were pouring in from the south, anxious to cast a vote for the president who was destined soon to give his life for his country.
On his way south with the 152nd, Comrade Evans passed through Louisville and Nashville and thence on to Tullehoma, where many of the newly enlisted men were stationed, guarding the city from any threatened attack of the Confederate Army. Down there, under the southern stars, Comrade Evans walked picket duty during the nights that marked the close of the great internal struggle that involved the United States. At last the good news came that the South had surrendered and that the war was over. Comrade Evans was still taking his turn at night picket duty when the message was received that President Lincoln had been murdered by Booth.
During the days of mourning every soldier in the United States Army trailed his musket and, whenever they could obtain it, the men wore crepe as a mark of respect to their commander-in-chief.
While stationed at Tullahoma Comrade Evans fell victim to a dread disease that attacked the northern soldiers when they changed from the good old home diet to hardtack and bacon. When the 152nd left the city he was compelled to remain behind in a southern hospital where he stayed until July, before he was able to travel and start for home.
Only once during his term of service did the seventeen year old soldier boy face capture at the hands of the Confederates, and on this occasion it was ignorance on the part of the southerners regarding the strength of the Union foraging party that saved him from a trip to one of the southern military prisons. While he was stationed at Nashville forage was brought into the Union camp by forage trains, which were composed of a squad of scouts and enough soldiers to handle the thirty or thirty-five wagons that were sent out. Just a short time before the expedition on which Comrade Evans had his adventure was sent out, a wagon train of thirty wagons and its escort of guards had been captured by the Confederates. The men had been made prisoners, the horses cut from the wagons and appropriated by the southerners, and the wagons burned in the road. This raid was made by guerilla roaming bands of both northern and southern outlaws belonging to neither army, but of southern sympathy, and the captured men landed in a southern prison.
The forage train to which Comrade Evans was assigned consisted of thirty wagons. It had gone fourteen or fifteen miles from the camp into a rich corn district where corn and other grain could be secured from Union sympathizers. Upon arriving at the farmhouse the soldiers were met by the farmer who, in great excitement, warned them to return to camp at once, as a large troop of Confederate cavalry had been seen in the neighborhood during the morning and were probably not very far away. Acting on this advice the train was wheeled around as soon as possible and started on the return trip with all possible haste. Before they had gone very far they had positive proof that the warning had been correct for a loud yell was heard in the rear of the train and, looking back, the soldiers saw a band of mounted Confederates coming over the hilltop in view of the moving train. The small force of the guards was no match for the strength of the Confederates. A large number of them were already in sight and more were coming and things began to look bad for the little party, but the scouts took to cover in the timber along the roadside and gave the enemy the impression that a large force of men was lying in ambush, ready to entrap them if they advanced. For this reason the Confederates did not attack the train although it would have been in their power if they had made a move against it. The entire Union outfit returned to its camp in safety, but without the corn.
The camp life of the Union garrisons showed every shade of life to the careful observer. Soldiers of all ages could be found there, and the men ranged from veterans of four years’ service to raw recruits who had just been sent down from the north. These cities of tents were the most cosmopolitan places on earth. From one tent or campfire came the sounds of minstrel songs or jokes, sung and told by the resting soldiers, while a short distance away a group of elderly men held a prayer meeting, undisturbed by the merriment of their neighbors. Next to these might have been seen a troop interested in a card game and willing to wager everything they had earned on the result. At the next tent was seated a man writing a letter to his mother or sweetheart on a piece of dirty paper, telling her of recent events and wishing the war was over so that he could return to her.
During these nights around the campfire many of the veterans gathered together and talked over battles fought on southern fields. Over this scene hung a smell of coffee cooking on the fire and the odor of the horse and mule stables, close at hand.
During the closing days of the war Comrade Evans was ready to take his place on the firing line at any time, but circumstances made this unnecessary. Never-the-less he wore the blue with credit to himself and his country and can be justly proud of the part he took.

Shouse at the bride’s home, Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana, Margaret Letitia Sartain (24 Nov 1867 Sullivan County, Indiana-5 Mar 1941 Brazil, Indiana, of cardiovascular renal failure, buried Highland Lawn Cemetery, Terre Haute, Indiana), daughter of William H. and Georgeanna (Rogers) Sartain.
2 May 1896: son Loraine Nelson born.

5 Feb 1904: son Robert Allen born.
ca 1907: “It must have been about the year 1907 when my father Allen T. Evans had an on-the-job accident in which he lost his thumb, index and middle fingers and a large portion of his right hand while working as a steam engineer at the Terre Haute Vitrified Brick plant, northeast of West Terre Haute, Indiana. Since there was no workmen’s compensation, or insurance, the company did not pay him any damages and even denied him the right to his job — all of which left us in rather tight financial straits. This was a severe blow to my father and, although he became quite adept in using his crippled hand, he never regained all his old possession of self and confidence. The blow was a hard one to all of us and it caused me to have to quit school at the end of the eighth grade, with the result that I was forced to delay my training for many years.” L. N. Evans
1910: census - #90 #93 Dick Johnson Township, Clay County, Indiana, mother-in-law Georgia A. Sartain lived with this family.
1919: at the age of 47, Allen T. Evans had eight years’ experience as a miner (he worked as a hoisting engineer). He was described as 5'11" tall, light hair, and blue eyes.
18 Mar 1944: died at Brazil, Clay County, Indiana of myocarditis and acute gastroenteritis, buried Highland Lawn Cemetery, Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana.
T. N. James said Allen Thomas was the smartest boy he ever taught in school.
Rupert Evans: In about 1915, Uncle Charlie’s [Charles Sartain] business just expanded unbelievably because of the war in Europe, so he talked Granddad Evans into coming to Chicago to work for him. Granddad and his three boys and Margaret moved to Chicago. Granddad became a foreman in the plant. Dad worked in the plant for a while but didn’t like it, so he struck out on his own and went to work for Greer School, teaching people how to drive. He would have been about 19 then. After a few months of teaching people to drive, he was moved into the school where they taught people how to repair automobiles. That’s how he got his skills which translated into a job at the University of Texas. I think Uncle Charlie sold his business to General Motors. Granddad Evans did not like working for anybody. His favorite job in the mines was taking care of the mines when they were shut down, because there was nobody to boss him around.

Hazel Rupert Evans: “His parents named him Loraine (pronounced as Loran) but because of having to explain the pronunciation so often, and because of having mail mixed up with a woman, Lorene Evans, he merely dropped the i and the e and spelled it Loran. He never had it changed legally, however.”
Loran went to kindergarten at the abandoned Coates College for women at Terre Haute, Indiana.
By Loran Nelson Evans: “It was in 1910 that I graduated from the one-room grade school called “Sugar Grove” in Dick Johnson Township, Clay County, Indiana. My brother Howard and I would both have been in the seventh grade in Montrose School in Terre Haute but Dad traded our home at 1329 S. 20th St. for the farm, so we moved out there in the fall of 1909. Due to the fact that “country” schools alternately had eighth grade classes and the year 1909-10 being the year for the eighth grade we were placed with the two girls who made up that class, thus graduating a year earlier than we would have if we had not moved to the country. My younger brother, Robert, was in the first grade. As all of the classes recited aloud, the twenty-five or thirty pupils in the one room were exposed to a wide variety of subject matter. We must have been a class of eager learners and our teacher, Olive James, was a young, interesting, attractive and capable person who took a personal interest in each of us. She boarded across the road from the school at Uncle Wesley Downing’s home. A contest soon developed between her and the Downings around the point of church membership, that is whether we should join Peniel, the Methodist church or Bee Ridge, the Christian church. The teacher was determined that we should go to her church - the Methodist. Aunt Emma and Uncle Wes were equally sure we should go to Bee Ridge. But in the end we all joined old Bee Ridge and we never could have had a happier church relationship.
The school term was quite short in the rural schools at that time but on the last day of school all of the patrons brought in full baskets of wonderful country food for a big dinner and this was really a “spread.”
Before graduation every eighth grader in the township was required to take a written examination, essay type, on every subject in the curriculum. This took an entire school day. It was given at Perth, a mining town in the north part of the township. Howard and I drove our horse and buggy the five mile trip there for the test. One thing particularly stands out in my memory and that was our lunch. We did not have the money for much variety of food, but one thing we did have plenty of was fresh eggs, so Mom boiled and deviled a lot of them for us to eat that day.
The Commencement was held at Bee Ridge Church on one of the hottest nights imaginable. My graduation suit was of extra heavy winter-weight woolen material. The trousers were of the knickers type. If only we could have taken off those coats! But that was not possible or proper. We all had summer and winter-weight underwear at that period but very few men or boys had summer suits. We really did swelter during the exercises that evening. The scheduled speaker for our commencement failed to appear, so a lawyer from Brazil filled in for him. He was the one who was to become involved in a political scandal shortly after-ward and, as a consequence, to commit suicide. After the hour-long speech, the County Superintendent of Schools took over for his part of the program. Before he could get to handing out the diplomas he always had to make a lengthy speech of his own. The church’s lighting system, a modern one for its time, operated on gasoline under air pressure. The pressure was applied by a hand pump. On this particular night the light plant developed a leak which made it necessary for someone to pump furiously every few minutes in order for us to have lights. Your grandfather, W. H. Rupert, had volunteered for the job. After pumping and pumping for the entire long evening, he finally became so weary that he broke into the superintendent’s harangue to advise him to “cut your speech short for I intend to quit pumping.” The diplomas were finally presented as the lights gradually dimmed out, and the audience left the hot and humid meeting in semi-darkness.
This was to be my final commencement for many years, until my graduation from college. I did not attend high school; and the state does not hold graduation exercises for certificates earned by means of high school equivalency examinations. My brother, Howard, was to start to high school the next fall and graduate in 1914. I went to work that summer in the mines as a car greaser at $1.10 for eight hours and to mine coal for 65 cents per ton. Before long, however, the chance came to get on as night fireman. This offered an opportunity to learn about steam boilers, pumps, engines, generators and hoists. These jobs were seven shifts per week without time off, but I was able to earn a man’s wages while still a boy. I studied text books on engineering and after several years passed the state examination for hoisting engineers. I received my license before I was of age, making me the youngest hoisting engineer in the state. During this period the coal mines were very erratic in work patterns, that is, there would be slack seasons, especially during the summer months when there was no market for coal; but I had steady work because a small force was necessary around the clock in order to keep the plant in operation. The mine where Dad and I worked went into a receivership. We were not paid any wages for several months. Our wages of $2.24 per day each ran up to quite a sum of money before the company was reactivated. We finally did get all of our back pay. I turned all of my wages over to my parents during those years and only received my board and keep and a little spending money. I should have been a pretty good investment!
During one summer when work was too slack at the mines I worked at the Brazil Hollow Brick and Tile Co. and wheeling ceramic silo blocks and conduit blocks out of the hot kilns and from storage onto railroad cars. Many times the kilns were not allowed to cool enough and the workers really got “baked” as we pushed our wheelbarrows into the hot kiln in a steady stream to haul the newly burned ware into storage or onto boxcars for shipment all over the country. The reason for this summer’s work was to pay for a brick silo that Dad had bought from the B.H.B.& T. Co., it being my privilege and pleasure to repay the company at the rate of 17½ cents per hour, or $1.75 per ten-hour day.
Another work experience involved machine shop work at the Wood Turret Machine Co. This work consisted of running a turret lathe making small machine parts for the turret lathes produced by this firm. This was on the night shift at 12 hours per shift 6 nights per week. The scale pay was 15 cents per hour. After several months of work at this job I had a chance to go back to the mines where the pay was better.
Some time later - it must have been about 1916 - we moved to Chicago. I had saved a little money from my allowance. I used it to pay my tuition at the Greer College of Motoring. This was a rather larger trade school. L. N. Evans, July, 1965

Omaha World-Herald, 19 Nov 1999:
“Sometimes careers are planned. Other times, they just fall into place.
The second path was the one taken by retired Navy Capt. Philip R. Evans of Bellevue, 63, who died Wednesday of complications from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Evans wanted to join the Army after he finished college at the age of 19, said his wife of 42 years, Beth, who grew up with her husband in Boonville, Ind.
The Army turned Evans away because he was too young for the specialty he wanted, but the Navy welcomed him with open arms.
‘Of course he fell in love with the Navy after he became part of it,’ Beth Evans said. ‘He liked the structure and the discipline.’
He served for 26 years in the Navy as an intelligence officer.
Evans retired in 1983 after his last assignment, which was with the Joint Strategic Target Planning Staff at Offutt Air Force Base. The planning staff, based at the Strategic Air Command, coordinated nuclear weapons targeting.
Beth Evans said she and her husband didn’t intend to settle in Bellevue, but they fell in love with the area.
Philip Evans was president of the Nebraska chapter of the National Association of Parliamentarians. He also was past chief of the Scottish Society of Nebraska and active in helping the Uta Halee Girls Village.
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Church of the Holy Spirit, 1305 Thomas Drive in Bellevue.
Other survivors include his son, Douglas Evans, and daughter, Jane Ann Burns, both of Bellevue; and three brothers, Rupert Evans of Urbana, Ill., Alan [sic] Evans of Cleves, Ohio, and Byron Evans of Saratoga Springs, N.Y.”

Two different stories describe Raymond’s death: he was a railroad fireman and was killed while resting under a train and the engineer started it without warning. The other story says that he was killed on his last run as a fireman. A special train arrived and the engineer called for Raymond and couldn’t blow the whistle but rang the bell and called. They thought that he was in a nearby grove, so the engineer pulled up to make room for the special. Raymond lived long enough to be taken to a hospital in Effingham and tell them about his mother. He had a puncture in his skull or he might have lived.
Newspaper article: “ Raymond J. Evans Receives Fatal Injuries While Working on Railroad. Effingham, Ill., July 29. Raymond J. Evans, 29 years old, a fireman on the Vandalia railroad, died about 4 o’clock this afternoon at St. Anthony’s Hospital as the result of injuries received when he was struck by a freight train near St. Elmo, Ill. He was brought to Effingham immediately after the accident. His right hand and leg were cut off and his body was badly mangled. Shortly before his death Evans asked that a Methodist minister be summoned and the Rev. Theodore Cates responded. Evans is said to be married and also leaves a mother in Terre Haute. No details of the accident were received here.”

EVANS, Thomas and Jane Pension # W923
Jane as a widow is applying for her pension.
Her husband died 23 Oct l832 Fentress Co. Tenn.
He was a private in Va. Company commanded by Capt. Martin for 2 years.
Evans who was a private in the army of the Revolution - that her said deceased husband Thomas Evans, entered the service of the United States, in Prince Edward County, State of Virginia - that she was well acquainted with him at the time of his first entering service engaged in the Services of said County. She thinks under a Capt. John Morton in the spring of the year l777 as well as she now recollects and marched off from Prince Edward courthouse as a Listed Soldier under Continental officers in the Listed Continental line and served for the term of 2 years - that her brother by the name of James Howerton went with said Thomas Evans during which time she was still informed that they were at different places and states and in the lower parts of Virgina and in the Sea coasts, and that after a lapse of 2 years that Thomas Evans her late husband together with her brother James Howerton returned together to Prince Edwards county, Virginia, and was frequently speaking about the house of her father and had been frequently there before he went to the army and after returning frequently was speaking both him and her brother of events in these late excursions. She recollects that both of them had written discharges for these tours being performed, but what has become of her husband’s discharge at this time she cannot tell nor how long it has been lost, not thinking any about it until lately not calculating on it doing her any good, but shortly after the return from the army that her and the said Thomas Evans was married which was on the 24th day of December l780 in the county of Prince Edward, state of Virginia by John Mackelroy, a Baptist minister by the publication of Banns - that shortly after her marriage with the said Thomas Evans as aforesaid that he volunteered to serve a three months tour under Capt Trigg, his first name she believes was Abram and was commanded by Major Cloid as she understood and went to North Carolina, was in skirmish at or near the shallow for of the Yadkin River and after performing one three months tour and returned home, and then again in the latter part of May again volunteered and served she thinks under the same Capt. but is not positive. She thinks he was from Bedford county went to the great Swamps to the Tar yard Babbs fields and served a three months tour as she always understood and believes and was discharged in some way knows not whether written or verbal - then he again volunteered in a short time after his return home and went on to Petersburg or Williamsburg and finally went to the siege of York. She thinks under Capt. Wood though she thinks Wood was only Lt. when they started from home and was promoted to the office of Capt. after they started. She thinks perhaps Triggs was again Capt and was perhaps promoted himself after starting but is not certain that it was precisely arranged in that way, but was informed of some changing of officers. She recollects of several of their county men and of her neighbors returning before her husband who informed her that he was guarding the British army - that he finally returned having performed the ----- three months tours as she then understood and yet believes all of which she states from her husband’s statements to her concerning the different marches and officers, battles ---and from her own knowledge of his starting and returning.
After the war her and her now deceased husband removed to Montgomery county state Virginia remained there for many years - thence removed to Overton county Tennessee which is now called Fentress County, Tennessee which late county has since been organized that her and the said Thomas Evans as aforesaid continued to live together as husband and wife in the county of Fentress and state of Tennessee until the 25th day of October l832 at which time he died at home in Fentress county, state of Tennessee. He was then very old and frail as she knows that he used to tell her that he was about ten years older then her and died very suddenly. Was taken when eating breakfast and appeared to be very much choaked and died in that way - and that she has remained in Fentress county, state of Tennessee ever since, has still remained a widow ever since his death as will more fully appear from the proof hereto annexed.
And that from her extreme old age and consequent loss of memory together with her limited chances of knowing more about dates and officers marches, etc. having no record or documentary evidence of her age or his service neither can she state how many written discharges he ever had - she has none of them now in possession, but is quite certain of the date of her marriage with the said Thomas Evans and of the day of his death as a record of his death is in the family - nor does she know of any person certain by whom she can positively prove his service she can prove by John Rhodes, clergyman and William Reiley, Major Abner Davidson and Major Evan D. Frogge all of the county of Fentress & state of Tennessee that her late husband Thomas Evans was spoken of among his acquaintances as having been a soldier of the Revolution and reputed and believed to be such, and frequently spoke of his service in the War of the Revolution to his neighbors and friends and was a man that was believed in common conversation and that she has always during their acquaintance been reputed as the wife of the said Thomas Evans and lived together as such until the death of the said Thomas and that she is and has been during their acquaintance with her called a woman of truth and verasity and that her statements are entitled to full credit and that from old age and consequently from her bodily infirmity that she is unable to attend court or to go from home. It is most convenient to have her business transacted before Esq. Joseph Upchurch at her own house.
She hereby relinquishes claims whatsoever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that her name is not on the pension roll of any agency of any state or Territory of the United States. Sworn to and subscribed the day and date above written. Jane (her mark) Evans.
Joseph Upchurch a Justice of the peace.
We John Rhodes, clergyman, William Riley and Abner Davidson and Major Evan D. Frogge all residing in Fentress County, State of Tennessee do certify that we are personally acquainted with Jane Evans the present applicant for a pension and have been for the term of 22 years who has sworn to and subscribed the above declaration and we believe her to be 81 years of age as she states and an old lady of undoubted verasity.
And we further certify that we was also personally acquainted with her deceased husband Thomas Evans in his lifetime and that the said Jane & Thomas lived together as husband and wife until the death of the said Thomas and that she has remained his widow ever since his death - that he was a respectable citizen of Fentress county, state of Tennessee and was spoken of as having been a soldier of the Revolution nor do we believe that the same was ever doubted, and we concur in that opinion. John Rhodes, William Riley, Henry Davidson, Evan D. Frogge.
Sworn and subscribed the day and date above written. Joseph Upchurch, J.P. Dircksen
