MILTON L. EVANS, who owns sixty acres of some of the best farming land in German Township, which is favorably situated only five miles northwest of Springfield, just off the Jordan Turnpike Road, was born in Elizabeth Township, Miami County, Ohio, June 2, 1872.  He is a son of William Perry and Mary Jane (Loughrige) Evans, William Perry Evans being a well known farmer in Miami County.      Milton L. Evans remained on the home place until his marriage on Aug. 22, 1894, to Emma F. Garst.  Mrs. Evans was born in Pike Township, Clark County, Ohio, a daughter of John and Mary (Bozart) Garst. When she was five years old she accompanied her mother and her step-father, John Filbrun, to Miami County, her own father having died when she was very young.  For two years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Evans lived with Mr. and Mrs. Filbrun, during which time Mr. Evans was engaged in teaching school. In the fall of 1895 he purchased his present farm and in the following spring they moved to it and have now lived here for the past twelve years.  Mr. Evans is both a practical and progressive farmer, making use of modern methods and improved machinery.  He and his wife have a family of eight children, namely: Robert Chesley, John Lebert, William Harold, Jasper Milton, Russell Frank, Ira Homer, Mary Caryl and Morris L. Mr. Evans is giving his children every advantage in his power and they show the effect of the parental care bestowed upon them.
