Obituary
CARLTON G. EVANS
Carlton G. Evans, son of D.J. and Jane Fields Evans, was born on September 29, 1855. He died at his home in Brooklyn December 10, 1930, aged 75 years, 2 months and 11 days.
He was born in Mahaska county near Oskaloosa, and has spent his life in Iowa with the exception of a short time spent in South Dakota. He was the third of a family of seven children. He leaves to mourn his passing two sisters, Mrs. R.R. Johnston of Broadland, South Dakota, and Mrs. Sam Meldrem of Brooklyn, two brothers, John A. Evans of Brooklyn and Marion Evans of Holyoke, Colo., together with a number of nephews and nieces. A great number of friends, as well as relatives, will mourn his passing.
Carlt, as he was called by those who knew him well, was one of those strictly honorable citizens who was guided in all of his undertakings by that infalable guide, his conscience. He never united with any church, yet always believed in the principles of right, and lived accordingly.
Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at two o'clock at the home of his brother John A. Evans in north Brooklyn, conducted by Rev. E.W.F. Holler, pastor of the Presbyterian Church.
The pall bearers were John Johnston, Alva Johnston, Earl Evans, Ralph Kaump, Ross Meldrem and Kenneth Meldrem. Interment was made in the family lot in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
Those from out of town who attended the funeral of Mr. Evans were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Kaump and Mrs. Alice Parnell of Broadland, S. Dak., Mr. John Johnston of Manchester, Mr. Grant Johnson and Alvin Johnson of Montezuma, Charles and Ed Evans, George Sr. and George Jr. Johnson and Albert and Harry Johnson, all of Searsboro.
