AUSTIN, Texas - Evan L. Scowden, 85, of Round Rock, died Monday (Dec. 15, 2014) of natural causes. He was born on April 21, 1929, in Bradford, Pa., to Leslie and Lois Gould Scowden.

In 1951, he married Nola Marie Pattison, also of Bradford. Evan and Nola celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary on June 30. Evan worked at the Pennsylvania Electric Co. for 38 years, retiring as chief lineman and moving to Round Rock in 1991. In 1984, Evan received Penelec's first-ever Good Idea award.
