William Durham Evans died last Saturday at the home of his father, James E. Evans, on West Pike Street, at 10 o’clock. He was taken sick the second week in last October with typhoid fever and lay sick with this disease for seventeen weeks, when an affection of the lungs set in as a resultant effect of the fever. He was taken to Florida for seven weeks last winter in hopes that the climate would have a beneficial effect on his health, but the physicians advised that he be brought home and his decline has been gradual ever since.
The funeral occurred Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock from the residence, the services being conducted by Rev. S. W. Goss, of the First M. E. Church. Interment was at Oak Hill.
William Durham Evans was born in this city Dec. 10, 1883, and had lived here all his life. He was a boy of splendid habits and would have been a sophomore in the high schools had he lived. He was remarkably bright in his studies and gave much promise of being a useful man in the world, and had many warm friends among the young people who will be deeply grieved to learn of his death. - s
