Notes for MARGARET:

16 May 1923 Texas Confederate Pension Application #39028

I Mrs. Margaret Evans...and the widow of W. H. Evans, deceased, who departed this life on 22 Dec 1918 in Freestone Co., TX. I have not remarried ...and I swear I was never divorced....and never voluntarily abandoned him...but remained his true....wife up to the date of his death. I was married to him on 11 Oct 1872 in Freestone Co.

Later she says: I am 68 years old, born in Anderson Co., TX, live at Teague, TX.. A. E. Evans and S. G. Riley swore that she was the widow of W. H. Evans. The County Assessor said she was on the tax rolls with a homestead of the value of "nothing"!!

In 1925 her pension was withheld because she had been out of the state for six months (St. Louis, MO). Her son-in-law, F. B. Stough wrote a letter saying the state should resume her pension because she was returning to Houston to live with Mr. P. T. Evans at 1318 Welch Ave. Later she says she was in St. Louis visiting her daughter.

The final form is an application for Murtuary Warrant that says Mrs. Margaret Evans died 20 Dec 1930 in Teague at the home of J. W. Rhea, son-in-law. She died of "organic heart and Diabetis melitus" and was attended by W.P. Harrison, M.D.

Notes for ADDIE EVANS:

3/23/1993.  Conversation with Mary Cartwright, daughter of Delia Evans Krajca.

Delia had told her that Addie came home with a man and asked Sidney if she could marry him.  Sidney said "no" and Addie left with the man.  They carried Delia down to the gate with them and left her there saying, "wish I could take you with me."

 

Later another man came to the house and told them Addie was dead.  Deliq was about 5-6 years old at the time (1914-15).

 

Mary said that Delia was born in Palmer or Ferris, not Freestone County.  Said Sidney owned a store in Palmer or Ferris.  She thinks that Addie may have been married in either Palmer or Ferris.
