---Mr. R. M. Evans, whose critical illness has been noticed in this paper for the past two weeks, died at his home Friday morning of pneumonia, aged 64. Mr. Evans has resided in Millersburg about 14 years, having moved here from the county of Mason. He was a mechanical genius and a wizard of machinery. He built a small flour mill on the bank of HInkston, inventing a portion of the machinery used in it. Later he bought the Foster Mill, and made extensive improvements. At the time of his death he was building a mill of medium capacity, perfect in all its parts. About five years ago he launched for the second time into matrimony and took unto himself a sixteen year old child wife, Miss Sallie Turner, with whom his life seems to have been happy. He was a devoted Christian, having been a member of the Christian church for many years. Somewhat like the great Edison, he was very deaf, but his intent mind was always at work. He hoped this summer to build an automobile that would surpass any on the market, and he hoped in the near future to make a flying machine a pronounced success. He was laid to rest Sunday afternoon in the Millersburg cemetery after an appropriate sermon by his pastor, Eld. P. F. King, at the Christian church. He leaves a wife and four children, a little four-year-old daughter, and Mrs. G. W. Johnson, of this city, Mr. Emery Evans and brother, of Mason county.
