OBITUARY.

from the Cincinnati Herald and Presbyter.
Died, in lola, Kansas, at the residence
of his son-in-law, Rein Richards, on the
18th day of December, 1875, JESSE
EVANS. aged SS years and 9 months.
The deceased was born in East Ten
nessec, on the 18th day of March, 1877.
When about ten years of age his parents
moved to Pulaski Co., KY, where he was
on the 2Sth of January, 1872, married to
Esther NJ. Newell. In 1918, he moved
to Owen county, Ind; in 1852 to Wave.
land, Ind, and in 1859 to Allen county,
Kan. When quite young he had deep
religious impressions, which were never
removed. His amiable wife was men,
ber of the Presbyterian church at the
time of their marriage, and with Others
organized the Bethany church in Owen
county, Ind, in 1919, soon after which
he united with the same church. In a
few years he was chosen a ruling elder,
which office he filled until he removed
to Waveland in 1852. He was devoted
Christian. He erected the family altar
before he became member of the
church. He said: 81 could not think of
raising family or living myself without
family worship and always seemed to
rejoice at the approach of the "sweet
hour of prayer" He was ever promi-
nent as a working Christian, ready to
unite with all Christian denominations
in the Masters service. He was never
known to do wrong act for the sake of
policy or personal popularity. When
quite a young man he became a victim
of dyspepsia, from which he suffered
during life. As age advanced he became
more feeble. For many years he has
been expecting death, and would speak
of it with as much composure as of going
to sleep. He often used the following
expressions 81 would not be surprised
any morning to awake in heaven 81
always, before going to sleep. prepare to
die before morning, if the Lord wills" "
His was no death-bed repentance. 1T
was growth in grace for nearly sixty
years.
He was a regular reader of the Watch
man Of tie Valley, the Herald, and the
Herald and Prcsbyfer.
| The angel called him at o'clock p.
N. on the 10Th. He suffered severely
about eight hours, and was relieved.
From that time he suffered but little.
He said: 81 thought ! would die, and
was glad that had no preparation to
make. NV house was in order" On
Sabbath evening he knelt at prayer. On
i the morning of the 18th he stood upon
bis feet, took some stimulants, laid
down. and died without struggle.
