Evans both of Atlanta, Ga..
Funeral services will be held this afternoon at four o'clock at the First Baptist Church, conducted by his pastor the Rev. W.R. Alexander. The body will remain at his late residence until 3:30 this afternoon, then it will be taken to the church for the funeral and then carried tonight to Fitzgerald, Ga. for burial tomorrow at 4 o'clock.
