As a convert to "Mormonism" he was baptized March 3, 1883, by David T. Evans and emigrated to Utah in 1888, crossing the Atlantic in the ship "Wisconsin." After residing in Pleasant Valley, Emery county, Utah, he returned to his native land as a missionary in 1891, having been ordained a Seventy June 6, 1891, by George Reynolds. After filling a two years' mission he returned to Pleasant Valley, where he acted as Sunday school superintendent and Ward chorister. Later he moved to Sunnyside, Carbon county, Utah, where he was chosen as Bishop of the Sunnyside Ward, being ordained to that position by Apostle Rudger Clawson, Sept. 24, 1916. In January, 1895, he married Emily Jane Whimpey, who bore him nine children, namely, Oscar W., Taliesin W., Vivian Alice, Isaac W., Susannah Maud, Ivor W., Emily Jane, Lucile and Pershing W.

Thus he acted as school trustee in Winter Quarters for four years; served on the board of the Carbon county high school, and was a member of the committee which selected the present site for the high school building at Price, Utah. Bishop Evans is universally known as an honest, upright citizen and a consistent and true Latter-day Saint.
