OBITUARY

James Oliver Evers, the fourth son of James A.L. Evers and Anna Eliza McGee Evers, was born in Logan precinct in Massac County, Illinois on the twenty-third day of February 1878. On the 24th day of September, 1899 he was united in marriage to Lucy Miller of Pulaski County, Illinois a daughter of L.V. Miller and Betty Bayless Miller, with whom he lived happily until the day of his death. To this union were born five sons and
four daughters, all of whom are living except Johnnie who was accidently killed at the age of ten years by falling 'neath the wheel of a heavily loaded wagon. The living children are Mrs. Flossis McIntyre of Grand Chain, Mrs. George Kobler of Cairo; Mrs. Clara karraker of Centralia; Leo Evers of Grand Chain; and Orphis, Jimmie, Virgil and Russell Evers still at home with their mother, Mrs. Lucy Evers of Centralia, Illinois. "Jimmie," as every one who knew Mr. Evers, familarlly called him, was a useful man in every community in which he lived. If any one was in distress and help was needed, Jimme went to his relief. If there were those who were sick in the community in which he lived. Jimmie was one who was sure to be found waiting on them. If there were poor who needed help, Jimmie's liberality extended to his last dollar. He was known everywhere as one of the hardest working men in his community. He was intensely patriotic and took care to raise his children to be a blessing to their country. Being an Odd Fellow he practiced the teachings of that order for he took great pleasure in the work of that lodge. The living brothers and sisters are: Albert W and Luther L. of Metropolis and Hubert H. of Harvey, Illinois, and Mrs. Cynthia Lippert and Mrs. Hattie Ferguson of Karnak, Illinois. There are many other relatives and hundreds of friends. On the 27th of October while working in Centralia he was thrown from a truck, when the driver with whom he was riding turned a sharp corner, the rivets in the running board giving way threw Mr. Evers violently to the pavement. The force of the fall rendered him unconscious from which he never recovered and he passed out at 11:45 that night. At his death he was 48 years, 8 months and four days old. A neighbor in the prime of his usefullness has been removed from among us by death. Rev. S. A. Morgan, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Ullin, a former pastor of the Evers family under whose pastorate some of the family joined the church, with the assistance of Rev. Herschel Conley of the Christian Church at Grand Chain conducted the funeral. Interment was in the family lot in the Salem Cemetery in Logan Precinct.
