On this rich estate in Geyer, Saxâ€" ony, Evan was born July 1, 1857, nnduqboymntmtdhhthm in the large sevenâ€"story stone facâ€" tory which his Welch grandfather had built.. While Evan was attendâ€" ing college, reverses overtook the flmily.ndlbofll“‘ln,lik.m The inventive genius and indusâ€" trious of this Welchman resulted in his mceumulating a fortune which passed on to his son, Eli Evans, the father of Evan. Although born in Saxony, Gerâ€" many, he was very proud of his Welch ancestors, and especially his grand{father, also named ‘ Evan Evans, who in about the year 1800, had‘ been induced by the German government to migrate from Wales to Saxony and assist in the: develâ€" opment of the spinning industry for which that locality is now famous. to himself and radiated an atmosâ€" phere of hope and faith. years when the family fortune was lost, but never a word of complaint passed his lips.

Piepenbrok, commenced at 2 p.m. May 15, 1934, The departed received personal service by funeral director R. Lauer of Northbrook and before interment rested in the home of Rudoiph B. Evans, The mourners, with sincerâ€" est thanks, accept the bountiful gifts of beautiful flowers and expressions of sympathy from their many relaâ€" tives and friends. In his last days he was under the able care of the family physician, Dr. Johnston Davis of Deerfield, and the splendid care of a trained nurse, Mrs. Pauline V. Botker of Highland Park. He is survived by four chilâ€" dren and six grandchildren. During life it was the desire of Evan Evans to witness the Ameriâ€" can Evatype Corporation, of which he was one of the founders, become a large national institution, and alâ€" though he is gone, the members of his family will carry on in an effort to make his wish come true. In recent years the health of Evan Evans began to fail, The death of his wife on January 27, 1926, was ‘a painful experience which he bore in silence. Evatype, his son‘s inâ€" vention, together with the progress of the American Evatype Corporaâ€" tin, furnished a great interest in his life until death, when a better life came to claim him at 1:30 p.m. May 13, 1934, at the home of his son Richard. 4 . The promoting of any new, revoâ€" ’lutiowy idea, however, is a most disheartening and| painful experiâ€" ence, and it was during the many years of bitter trials that the hope, Afaith and moral support of Evan was of such wonderful help to his boy.: His confidente never wavered and his pleas for patience and perâ€" formance found a responsive chord in Richard, who, for all these years, inspired by his father‘s kind words, has been doing everything in his power to‘carry the company through the present disastrous depression, and is succeeding. His improved method of making rubber stamps has proven its merits in the field and is now successfully being used in many parts of the United States. It scored a success at the 1938 World‘s Fair in Chicago.> > :Both mother and father also came to Highland Park, making their home with their children. Needless to say that Evan, the father, still residing in Milwaukee, who as a boy had experienced the pleasure of achievement, bgame enâ€" thused in his son‘s invention. He instinctively became inspired with its large possibilitiese and apprecâ€" ated the blessings a successful busiâ€" ness brings as he had in his youth experienced them. * Richard also endeavored to make the most of his line. In 1923 he apâ€" plied for U. S. patents which were granted and additional patents have been awarded to him in later years. Hhe presented a plan for commerâ€" cializing the invention to this broâ€" ther and sisters, who, in true Evans style, furnished the necessary fiâ€" nances with which to proceed with the venture. 1 mer dccupations, Rudolph as a repâ€" resentative of the Northwestern Naâ€" tional Fire Insurance Company of Milwaukee, supervising northern Illinois, and Richard as a rubber stamp maker in Chicago. : About twelve years ago, Lowry, his youngest daughter, came to MHighland Park. <An opportunity presented :itself to her to take over the Ritter Feed Store on North Secâ€" ond > Street which she did. This brought the other ‘Evans children and John Lidicker, the husband of Johanna. The name was changed to the Evans Feed ‘Store. Rudoiph Evans and John Lidicker became fiâ€" nancially interested in it and finally: Richard was induced to come and. make his home here. For some time all assumed certain duties in the store but Rudolph and Richard havâ€" ing experience in other lines, soon left the store and pursued their forâ€" After a few years, Milwaukee seemed to offer a.better future. h moved his family to that city I he again had to endure great priva« tions as the country was experienc~ ing a severe depression.

As the years went by the children grew up, were pfi ated from various public schools in the meantime Evan had attemptâ€" ed the launching of several underâ€" talkings as the spirit of enterprise continued to flow in his veins.
