Obituary for Floyd E. Evans:
FLOYD E. EVANS, 31, DIES IN WEST
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Evans 622 North Frances street, received word late Saturday of the death during the day of their son, Floyd E. Evans, aged 31, in Hesperia, Calif. Mrs. Evans is city policewoman. Mr. Evans was born in South Bend, received his education in the city schools and was formerly a member of the Lowell Heights Methodist Episcopal church on North Notre Dame avenue before going to California three and a half years ago. He is also survived by his widow, Mrs. Vesta Evans and a daughter, Katherine, of Hesperia; and a brother, Albert Evans Jr. and a sister, Mrs. Edna Kuntz, both of South Bend. He is said to have contracted a tubercular throat ailment while serving with the United States Army in the Phillippines. The condition became aggravated several years ago, and he moved to California, where it was thought he was making a satisfactory recovery. In fact his mother who recently visited him and his family in their California home, brought back reports that his physicians were greatly encouraged by his progress. His sudden death, therefore came as a severe shock to his relatives and friends in South Bend. Source: South Bend Tribune, June 30, 1935, Section 4, Page 6
