Lawrence Lee of the United Brethren Church in charge. Mrs. L.M. Hall, Mrs. L. D. Holland and Miss Calla Wood sand two songs "Beulah Land" and "Sweet By and By." Interment was in Evergreen cemetery at Collins by the side of the husband, who died over thirty years ago. The casket bearers were Sam Tomlinson, Henry Denniston, Charles Vasey, Warren Kitchell, Carl Day and Sid Atkinson.

The following is a brief life sketch of the deceased:

Alberta Jane Evans, daughter of the late Samuel and Jane Ozmun, was born in southeast Story county on September 19, 1865 and departed this life at her home in Collins, Monday afternoon, December 21, 1942, at the age of 77 years, 3 months and two days. She grew to womanhood in this community and was united in marriage in 1884 to Chris C. Evans, also of this community. They spent the early years of their married life on the farm. In 1901 they moved to Collins and it was here that Mr. Evans died in 1911.

Two sons were born to this union; both of whom survive. E. C. Clinton Evans resides at Galva, Iowa, and Verne Evans made his home with his mother. Three grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, one sister, Myrna Ozmun of Maxwell and a brother, P. D. Ozmun of Collins, also survive. Mrs. Evans was a devoted wife and mother and lived a life of service for those near and dear to her.
