IN MEMORY OF THOMAS H. EVANS

The subject of this sketch, Rev. Thomas H. Evans, was born on the 16th day of
February 1843 and departed this left on the 19th day of February 1913. He was
70 years and 3 days old at the time of his death. Bro. Evans was thrice
married. He was twice married in Georgia before coming to Alabama. He was
married in this county about the year 1872 to Miss Mary Susan Otwell. Eleven
children blessed this union, five of whom are dead many years ago and six
remain to mourn his loss. Of this number there are five girls and one boy.
He was one of the best known men in Cleburne County. All knew him to love him.
He had no enemies or at least, very few. He was a man among men. I am glad
that I can say that he was a christian nobleman. Many still be there on that
day that will line up and call him blessed. He was a minister of the gospel
for about 30 years or perhaps longer. He was a local preacher of the M.E.
church; like Goldsmith's "village preacher". He aspired to better worlds and
led the way. He was not a perfect man in the sense of absolute perfection but
was about as near this condition as mortal man may hope to get in this world.
His influence for good is incalculated, he being dead, yet speaketh. He was a
man of great patience and fortitude. He was such much more than falls to the
common lot of man, het during all afflictions he never complained but bore his
sufferings with much resignation. Let us console ourselves with the thought
that his sufferings are over. He is now beyond the reach of earthly
sufferings. Children, try to meet him in glory. A friend.
