Columbus Gazette, April 4, 1935

Mrs. Samuel Evans, a well-known resident of the Welsh neighborhood, died Tuesday evening, April 2nd at the Bellevue hospital at Muscatine where she had been a patient the past fifteen days, following an illness of approximately ten weeks.

Miss Martha Davis was born at Williamsburg, Iowa, in Iowa county, September 6, 1860 and was aged 74 years, 6 months and 26 days.

She was united in marriage to Mr. Samuel Evans, November 3, 1880 in the Williamsburg Congregational church. They made their home at Williamsburg until 1920 when they moved to Washington, Iowa. Mrs. Evans then transferred her church membership to the United Presbyterian church of that city and remained a faithful and devout member until the time of her death.

Mr. Evans preceded her in death, January 22, 1930. She then went to live with her daughters, Mrs. Newton Davis and Mrs. Reece Davis in the Welsh neighborhood, both of whom survive to mourn her death. One son, Evan Roland Evans, died in infancy. Six sisters and one brother also preceded her in death, and one sister, Mrs. Joe E. Davis, of Wyman, survives. She is also survived by four grandchildren, Carol, Miriam, Mildred and Donald Lee Davis.

Funeral services will be held at the Reece Davis home Thursday afternoon at 1:30 conducted by the Rev. Fulton, pastor of the United Presbyterian church at Washington.

The body will then be taken Friday morning to Williamsburg where funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at the Williamsburg Congregational church at two o'clock.

Burial in the family lot at Oakhill cemetery, Williamsburg.
