The son of Civil War veteran Champ Terry Evans, "Ike" was a deeply religious man who was instrumental in the formation of New Design Methodist Church on Franklin Tnpk. He was living on Rte 360 at the time on 100+ acres where he farmed. During the 1920s he lived for a short time at 714 N. Main St. in Danville but returned to the farm on Rte 360, just past Fall Creek. He lived there until the late 1940's then bought a small home on Franklin Tnpk, about 1/4 mi. past the (Grace) Design Ch. He lived with his wife, Jennie, daughter, Edna, who never married, & son Ernest, who never married. In addition to being a farmer, Ike was an accomplished carpenter.

For many years Isaac taught a men's Bible class at the church. When his health allowed, he attended church into his 80s. When he attended, the minister always called on him to lead the congregation in prayer. He insisted on praying on his knees, which he managed to do with the aid of a cane.

He could read, but never learned to drive a car. He neither smoked nor drank, but occasionally would chew tobacco, which he grew on his farm.
