CHARLES WESLEY EVANS
was born in Barnesville, O., Nov. 3, 1855, and is the son of
Robert R. Evans, an old resident of that place, who
was born in Sussex County, Va., in 1812. He quit
school at the age of fourteen and entered the office of the
Barnesville Enterprise to learn the printers' trade.
The Enterprise was then under the editorship of
George McClelland and W. T. Evans, (brother of
C. W.), was foreman in the office. After learning
his trade, young Evans followed it in Wheeling,
Zanesville, Columbus and Bellaire, until February, 1882,
when he came to Caldwell and became foreman in the Press
office, then owned by John M. Amos. He remained
in that position until June 1, 1886, when he resigned, and
in the following month started the Democrat.
Mr. Evans was married in
1879 to Miss Hattie O. Cline, and was one child -
Lulu Estella. Mr. Evans comes of a family of
printers, and his wife is also a practical printer.
Having brought the history of Noble County Journalism
down to the year of grace, 1887, the question arises, where
are those who withstood the trials and vicissitudes incident
to country newspaper work in former years? Many are
still living, and an attempt will be made to specify their
whereabouts, as well as to tell what is known of those that
are dead.
