The Rev. David L. Evans of Randolph
Center died Monday afternoon at the Mary
Fletcher hospital in Burlington from heart
failure. Mr.. Evans had been in declining
health for several months and receiving DO
relief from local physicians went to the
hospital for treatment. His case puzzled
the physicians in charge, they being unable
TO decide whether 1t was appendicitis or
tuberculosis of the bowels. They were
also afraid to operate, fearing that in his
emaciated condition Mr.. Evans would not
be able to endure the operation. he was
brave. however, INT desired that it be per-
formed, confident that he was suffering
with appendicitis. The operation was
performed last Tuesday and the surgeons
found chronic appendicitis but no evidence
OF tuberculosis. He rallied well from the
operation and seemed to be making very
good progress toward recovery, appearing
very comfortable on Sunday. About four
o'clock Monday morning his heart weak
ened and his condition became alarming.
The physicians worked over him all day
but between five and six in the afternoon
life went out. While heart failure was the
i'm Immediate cause of death the physicians
cannot explain what the disease that
caused his debilitation was. The body
was taken to Stowe, where the funeral was
held Thursday afternoon and the burial
made. 1t was accompanied by the young
widow, who stayed with her husband
through his fatal illness. David Lincoln
Evans was born in Baltimore, Md, October
u, 1870, being in the 34th year of his age.
He took a course in Moody's preparatory
school in Mortified, Mass, and then went
to a college in Virginia. He then took q
course in the Drew Theological Seminary
in Madison, N. j., and after graduation
Joined the Vermont Methodist conference
and accepted a pastorate at Newport
Center. He later had charges at Crafts
bury and West Berkshire. He went from
the latter charge to Boston University,
where he too post graduate work. From
there he came to Stowe in 1901 and
preached there two years. On the 18th of
October, 1902, he married Miss Pearl M.
Macomber of Stowe. He was taken sick
in January last but continued his work at
Stowe until conference met in April. He
was assigned this year to Randolph Center
and had moved to his new charge and was
unable to fill his appointment there. Four
weeks ago he came to the hospital, where
he remained until death. Quiet in his
manners, firm in his convictions, he was a
strong preacher of the faith as it was
revealed to him and won for himself q host
OF friends, who will feel the deepest SYM
patty for the young wife in her severe
bereavement. The only surviving rela-
tives besides his wife are two brothers
living in Oklahoma.
