EVANS, WILLIAM

At his home in Puslinch, on Wednesday, on the evening of the 21^st January 1896, at the ripe age of 80 years, following his wife to the grave within eleven days, another who braved the pioneer life in Puslinch. Mr. and Mrs. Evans were married for more than fifty years. Mr. Evans emigrated from Staffordshire, England in 1839, locating on lot 2, concession 4, Puslinch. About five years afterwards, he moved to lot 7 of the same concession, residing there till his death. By constant application and excellent judgment, the home became one of the finest in the township, farm after farm being added. He always took more enjoyment in developing the resources of his home, than in aspiring to positions of public trust or seeking municipal honours. He was a kind and obliging neighbour and always charitable when charity was merited. Though he had been in poor health for some time, his death was rather sudden. His funeral on the 23^rd to Kirkland Cemetery was very largely attended by people from far and near.

-Information from the death certificate: Death ensued after 7 months with la grippe. Informant - Thomas Evans.

-Information from the 1906 Atlas of Wellington County: Succeeded his father, John Evans to lot 5, concession 3, Puslinch. Married Mary Kidd. Children were William F. of Waterloo; John of Guelph; Mrs. John Taylor of Guelph; Alfred (born 1852); Annie; Thomas; and David

EVANS, MARY (Nee Kidd)

Mrs. William Evans, on Friday, January 10^th 1896, in the 74^th year of her age, after an illness of a little more than a week, another of the honoured pioneers that helped to make Puslinch Township and our country at large, what it is today. She came to this country from England with her father, the late John Kidd, in 1830 and settled on a farm on the Brock Road, where she resided for several years. In 1847, she married William Evans of the 4^th concession of Puslinch, the home she went to being her home till her death, a period of forty-nine years. Here the work of pioneer life was carried on with such intelligence and energy, that the farm was soon made one of the best in the township and as years elapsed, farm after farm was added, upon which most of the different members of the family are now situated. The family consists of five boys and two girls: Phenton, living in Waterloo Township near Hespeler; John, with his sister, Miss Ady, living on Manitoulin Island; Miss Evans, at home; Alfred and David, on farms near by; and Thomas, on the homestead. The members of the family are all highly respected and well known throughout the township and surrounding country. Mrs. Evans was a lady of that benevolent disposition, of whom it may truly be said, no one was ever sent hungry from her door. She was modest and retiring in her demeanor, a desirable neighbour, a good wife, an affectionate mother, her greatest ambition ever centring in the promotion of the best interests of her family and home. Her funeral on Sunday, notwithstanding the inclemency of the day, was one of the largest seen in the township. She was interred in the Kirkland Cemetery. The family have the sympathy of the entire community, rendered doubly great by the fact that their aged father is, at present and was at the time of the mother's death, in an apparently dying and unconscious condition.
