Sarah B. (Huston) Evans (1822-1906)

Mrs. Sarah B. Evans, widow of the late Moses Evans, for more than eighty years a resident of Spring Valley township, a member of one of the oldest and most substantial families in the county, died at her home in Spring Valley at 6:15 last Wednesday morning.   She was in her eighty seventh year.
Mrs. Evans’ maiden name was Sarah Huston, and she was the daughter of Robert Huston, a pioneer, who came to Spring Valley township eighty two years ago from Warren county, where she was born November 7, 1822.
Mrs. Evans leaves her daughter, Miss Elizabeth, with whom she lived, and who tenderly cared for her mother in her declining years; two sons, Joseph and Edward, in Spring Valley; and a son, T. Hilliard, in Urbana.  
For forty years Mrs. Evans was a member of the Methodist Protestant church in Spring Valley. She was a noble Christian wife and mother, and her influence will long be felt in her home and her church.
The funeral service was held at the home at 10 o’clock last Saturday morning conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr. Reynolds.

• She died in 1906, but I do not know the month and day
• Her father was born in 1778 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and married Hannah Townsend (1787-1844) on July 18, 1821, in Waynesville. They had four children that I know of: Mary (1820- ); Mary (1828- ); David Townsend (1825-1883); and Sarah B. Robert died in 1829
• Sarah and Moses had nine children: Robert H. (1843-1865); Joseph Coppock (1845-1914) – married Anna Ellis Buckles (1846-1890); Daniel T. (1847-1868); Hannah L.

They were Quakers from the Newberry District of South Carolina, were probably married in South Carolina on December 18, 1817, moved to Ohio around 1823, and had twelve children: Rebecca (1818- ); Esther Evans (1821-1883) – married Lewis Hartsock (1822-1889) – my 2nd great uncle; Moses; Mary Ann (1823- ) – married Isaac M.

Obituaries
For the Cumberland Presbyterian

Mrs. SIDNEY EVANS, departed this life at her residence in Lebanon, Ohio, on the morning of the 16th day of December A.D., 1863. Aged 62 years.

Sister Evans, was the wife of Mr. Thomas Evans. They were both born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. In early life they emigrated to Ohio, and settled in the immediate vicinity of the place where she died.

She has left an aged husband to mourn over the desolations of their long happy family home.

Oir! what a desolater Death is; thank
God for that glorious home-circle above,
where the insatiate invader never comes.
Into that circle, we trust our sister has entered,
and that while home and hearts are in
desolation here, she is forever happy there.
Our loss is her eternal gain. Thank God for
the compensation nature of the Gospel. The
losses of earth made up, and found again in
Heaven.

She died in the communion of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, having been a
creditable, and acceptable member for about
23 years. She bore her final sickness, which
was long and painful, with great patience and
resignation to the Will of God. Who complained
not of the monster, but rejoiced, and
was thankful for His supporting Grace.

“Sister Evans has also left a large circle of
children who feel very deeply the loss of one
so dear and so kind. One of her sons is a
ruling Elder in the congregation where she
was a communicant. May God succeed this
sore dispensation, with His enriching blessing
causing it to bring forth the peaceable fruits
of righteousness “in all their, and our heart.”
PASTOR.
Lebanon, Ohio, Dec. 1863

Thomas Evans (ca. 1792-1852)

Died, near Waynesville, Ohio, of acute inflamation of the liver, on the 11th of last month, Thomas Evans, aged 60 years. This worthy and consistent member of the Society of Friends, though not favored with a literary education, was yet a self taught and profound scholar - well versed in the doctrines and principles of christianity as held by the society of which he was a leading member, and in certainty and extent of knowledge on these and kindred matters and correctness of judgement he had few equals and fewer superiors.
