  FRANK W. EVANS*, who owns the old homestead farm of 190 acres, which is 
situated in Graham township, has lived here all the thirty-nine years of his 
life, his birth having taken place in 1871.  His parents were Henry and 
Catherine Evans.  Henry Evans was also born in Clearfield county.  His business 
was farming but a large part of his time was taken up in performing public 
duties, his fellow citizens electing him many times to township offices, thus 
showing appreciation of his sterling traits of character.  He died on this farm 
in 1910, having survived his wife for five years.
  Frank W. Evans was educated in the schools of Graham township.  He has given 
his entire attention to farming and stockraising and conducts large agricultural 
operations according to the best approved methods.  He was married in 1900 to 
Lucia A. Maines, a daughter of D. A. Maines and wife, who are old residents of 
Bradford township.  Mr. and Mrs. Evans have three interesting children, Ethel, 
Hazel and Catherine.  Mr. Evans is a representative citizen, one who takes an 
interest in township matters, serving occasionally in office, and at all times 
lending his influence to promote good government, local educational advancement, 
good roads and all the other movements which are designed to add to the general 
welfare.
