James Evans, prominent citizen of Columbiana and widely known throughout the county, died in the late afternoon Tuesday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Walter Thompson, in Wilton as a result of a heart attack. Mr. and Mrs. Evans had gone on Saturday to visit their daughter and he suffered an attack on Sunday night, but rallied and throughout the two following days his condition seemed improved. The remains were brought Wednesday afternoon to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Taylor, in Columbiana. Funeral arrangements had not been completed Wednesday but it was expected that the body would be carried to Wilsonville, Mr. Evans’ old home, for interment Thursday. Mr. Evans made his home in Wilsonville where he was engaged in the mercantile business for a number of years and was recognized as a useful citizen of his community. He was an active member of the Methodist church and a public spirited citizen. For the past year he had made his home in Columbiana. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Lula Milstead, and four daughters; Mrs. W.T. Taylor and Miss Clarice Evans of Columbiana, Mrs. A.C. Cosper, Vincent, and Mrs. Walter Thompson of Wilson; three sisters, Mrs. Johnson of Birmingham; Mrs. Jim Harper, of Chelsea and Mrs. Kimble, Birmingham and two brothers, Robert Evans of Birmingham and John Evans of Washington City. 2 July 1931, The Reporter |
