ANTHONY WAYNE EVANS, son of Anthony Wayne and Sarah Frances Evans was born October 16, 1853 in Lewis County Kentucky.

He came to Carter County and was united in marriage to Miss Lucy Erwin, daughter of Silas and Sarah Erwin on November 22, 1883. He passed from this life January 16, 1937 at the age of 83 years and three months. He leaves his devoted and faithful wife, one son, Herbert C., at home, one daughter, Sarah Frances Van Hoose of Clair, Michigan; two grandchildren, Mabel and Luther Herbert Van Hoose, one sister, Celia Scott, one brother, Morgan Evans, several nieces and nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.

Three brothers and three sisters preceded him in death.

He was converted and baptized many years ago and seemed fully reconciled to depart this life. More than fifty years residence in this community gives full testimony of a good, honest, peace-loving citizen. His patience in his affliction, his greetings to all his friends and love and kindness to his immediate family are points of his congenial character long to be remembered.

The funeral services were conducted at the Bowen Chapel Monday morning in charge of local undertakers, Henderson Funeral Home, by Rev. Zachariah Tussey of Morehead, with burial in the family lot.

Your place is empty here for so God willed; But there in Heaven your place is filled. Your place is empty; God calls us one by one, To homes prepared by Him when earthly work is done. We would not have you leave this world of bliss. Even if we could, beloved, bring you back again to this. Back to this world of sorrow and suffering again, To long days full of weariness, to nights of ceaseless pain, Although we sorely miss you, the time will not be long, When we hear your voice in Heaven's glad song.
