Here are Bio's of Willlam Evans and his son from "Biographical and Historical Record of Wayne and Appanoose Counties, Iowa" Chicago: Inter-State Pub. Co., 1886.
WILLIAM FRANKLIN EVANS, attorney at law, and junior member of the firm Vermillion & Evans, Centerville, Iowa, was born near Confidence, Monroe County, Iowa, October 11, 1859, the only son of William and Margaret J. (Vestle) Evans. He was five years of age when his parents moved to Appanoose County, and here he grew to manhood, obtaining a good education in the public schools of Iconium and Centerville, his parents removing to the latter place when he was twelve years old. During the years 1877 and 1878 he was deputy treasurer of Appanoose County under his father. In 1880 he began the study of law in the office of Vermillion & Vermillion, of Centerville, and was admitted to the bar in 1883. He, however, did not at once enter upon the practice of his profession, but the year of his admission became assistant cashier of the First National Bank of Centerville, and in 1884 held the same position in the First National Bank of Milan, Missouri. In 1885 he returned to Centerville and began the practice of law, becoming associated with Mr. Vermillion, and in March of the same year was elected city solicitor, being re-elected to the same position in 1886. Mr. Evans is a young man of fine ability, and is one of the promising young attorneys of the county, standing well both with his brother practitioners and the business men of Centerville.
WILLIAM EVANS, cashier of the First National Bank, Centerville, Iowa, was born near Salem, Washington County, Indiana, Mary 12, 1829. The year of his birth his parents removed to Greencastle, Putnam County, the same State, where he was reared, spending his youth on his father's farm. In 1849 he accompanied his parents to Monroe County, Iowa, where he lived until February, 1864, when he moved to Iconium, Appanoose County, and engaged in the mercantile business until December, 1871, when, having been elected treasurer of Appanoose County, he removed to Centerville, to assume the duties of his office, which he filled by re-election four terms of two years each. He was an efficient and popular officer, and won many friends by his strict integrity and careful oversight of the duties of his office, and at the expiration of his last term was offered the position of cashier in the First National Bank, which he accepted and has since held to the perfect satisfaction of his employers. While in Iconium he was postmaster eight years, and has also held the offices of township clerk and assessor several terms each. In politics he adheres to the principles of the Democratic party. Mr. Evans was married November 25, 1852, to Margaret J. Vestle, of Monroe County, Iowa. They have had eight children, two of whom died in infancy, and a daughter, Margaret E., wife J. C. Bevington, died in April, 1884, aged twenty-seven years. The living are: Sarah, wife Dr. W. H. Everson, of Promise City, Iowa; Lucy A., widow of Richard Stewart, of Centerville; William F., an attorney, of Centerville; Belle, wife of Hubbard Cyphers, of Pawnee Rock, Kansas, and Ida, wife of William Walton, also of Pawnee Rock. Mr. and Mrs. Evans are members of the Baptist church, of which he is a deacon and trustee. He is a member of the Odd Fellows order, Lodge No. 76, and Encampment No. 24, and is past grand of his lodge.
And you can do a "find" on "Evans" on this scan of the 1913 edition of "Past and Present of Appanoose County, Iowa" for even fuller and later bios of both father and son.

I found Ida E. Walton, age 62, living with her son-in law Hugh N. Fogle and his son Hugh H. in Green Acres, Spokane, Washington in the 1930 census.
And here are Belle and Hubbard Cyphers' graves in Nebraska.
