RICHARD EVANS - Mr. Evans was born in
Wales in 1829, and came to America in 1857. He located in
Steubenville, where he went to work as a common laborer, and by his
industry accumulated sufficient means to buy himself property on
Market street. He then went into the butchering business which
he carried on with success long enough to enable him to purchase a
farm; his health failing him, he moved to the farm he now occupies.
Mr. Evans was married in his native country, but his wife
died after bearing him two children, who both died also, with
scarlet fever. Oct. 31, 1864, Mr. Evans married Miss
Warren, of Wintersville, and they have two daughters.
Mr. Evans is a very enterprising farmer, and does more toward
promoting agricultural interests than any man in Cross creek.
He has a beautiful farm, and devotes much attention to the raising
of fine stick, and has the finest herd of Alderney cattle in eastern
Ohio.
