Wallace W. Evans

Sidney Record, October 28, 1886

Last Monday morning the residents of this village were greatly shocked and much pained to learn that Mr. Wallace W. Evans, for many years a prominent and highly respected resident of this town [Sidney, Delaware Co., NY], had been found dead in his bed at about 7 o'clock, at his residence on Main st.  Mr. Evans retired to his room at his usual hour, Sunday night, apparently in the enjoyment of his usual good health.  Sunday afternoon he took a long walk with his friend, and neighbor, Mr. H.C. Weller. He did not complain of ill health, but seemed to be happy and contented, in his usual quiet way.  Owing to sickness in the house, Mr Evans slept alone upstairs Sunday night.  when breakfast was ready, Mrs. Evans, noticing her husband's absence, went upstairs to call him. She found him apparently in a deep, calm sleep, lying on his back.  Realizing that something was wrong, Mrs. Evans summoned Dr. Isham who pronounced him dead.  Dr. Evans of Bainbridge, his brother, was notified.  He made a careful analysis of the case, and decided that paralysis of the heart was the cause of death.  The Dr. also stated that his brother had long suffered from an affection of the heart, and that their mother had died from a similar trouble.  Mr. Evans was 66 years of age.  He was born in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], and moved to Sidney about 25 years ago.  He sold his farm last Spring and took up his residence in this village, and seemed to be comfortable and contented in his new home on Main st., surrounded by his family and friends.  The funeral will be held today, Oct. 28th.  Services will be conducted at the house and the interment will take place in the Episcopal cemetery in Bainbridge.  Everyone here regrets the death of Mr. Evans, and the suddenness of the event calls for an expression of the deepest sympathy on behalf of the bereaved family.

Last Sunday morning, 10th last, there died in Bainbridge, at his home, in that village, one of the oldest and best known physicians in this locality,--Dr. R.D.L. Evans.  The manner of his death was sudden, the immediate result of a brief illness during the past winter.  The news was a surprise to the numerous friends of the family who had noted with pleasure improved conditions in his case, and had been led to believe that the doctor, in spite of his 75 years, was once again firmly restored to health.  On Sunday morning, he breakfasted and entering his office, sat in a chair and suddenly expired.  His was a distinct personality.  Dr Evans was the embodiment of a true mental as well as physical vigor.  He possessed remarkable bodily vigor, with the grip of a lion's paw, while his mentality reached a degree but seldom attained.  His was the product of a well balanced mind, to which was added the wisdom of tempered counsels, while within, governing all, were the promptings of a generous heart.  In younger days he could twist and bend a silver coin or tear in twain a pack of cards.  On the other hand few disciples of Shakespeare were more ardent lovers of the Bard of Avon.  Those aliken webs and delicate traceries that none but mighty Shakespeare could weave were not lost upon his own brilliant mind.  He could recite Shakespeare almost from end to end, and even here, in Sidney, we have seen and heard Dr. Evans portray the role of Othello, in the "Merchant of Venice" with a vigor and interpretaiton that challenged some of our leading Shakespearean lights.  He leaves us, mourned by many, and his itnerment, on Tuesday, was marked by the presence of friends in every walk of life, a fitting tribute to the close of a worthy life, a man who was esteemed alike by rich and poor, and who leaves upon the world an impress for the good.
