Postville Herald, Friday, 11 October 1918.

After an illness of many months, having been sick since last December, Fred Evermann passed away last Sunday morning at 2:30 o'clock at his home just west of town, best known as the old Harman place. By occupation Mr. Evermann was a carpenter, and a faithful and competent workman, honest as the day was long and by his quiet and agreeable ways made friends of all who had dealings with him, and the sympathy of the community will go out in full measure to those who mourn his loss.

Friedrich Wilhelm Christoph Evermann was born March 27, 1861, in Niendorf, Mecklenburg - Schwerin, Germany. In 1882 he was married to Minna Baetcke, and to this union were born five children, three of whom were born in Germany and two in America. He came to this country with his family in 1891, living for two years near Luana, moving from there to Grand Meadow township, where he resided one year and then moved to a farm near Postville, where they have since resided.

He leaves to mourn his loss his wife and four (5 in the following) children - Wilhelm on the old farm, and Rudy, Fred, Cynthia and Walter at home; five grandchildren and many relatives and friends.

At the time of his death Mr. Evermann was aged 57 years, 6 months and 10 days.

The funeral was held from St. Paul's Lutheran church on Wednesday, conducted by Rev. E. Schmidt. Interment in Postville cemetery.
