BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Compiled by Junius Banks Our Heavenly Father in his wisdom wis-dom has seen fit to remove from our midst one of liis choice daughters daugh-ters and from us a beloved wife, mother, and friend. While we all mourn the passing of Sister Maud Evans, we submit our wills to that Divine Providence "which does all things well. Maud Viola Collett Evans was born at Pleasant Grove, Utah, March 20, 188G, the daughter of Robert E. and Eliza Trinnaman Collett. Her father kept the village drug store at Pleasant Grove. Maud attended the local schools and took part in church activities. When she was eleven years tf age, the family moved to Lost River, Idaho, only to return again to Pleasant Grove four years later at the death of the mother. Maud first met her future husband, hus-band, John S. Evans, on a train going to the small mining camp of Sunshine, near Mercur, in July, 1903. This acquaintance soon became be-came a friendship which in turn ripened into love, resulting in their marriage, January 13, 1904, in the Salt Lake L. D. S. Temple. Soon after the marriage, Brother Evans was called on a three and a half year mission to New Zealand. Zea-land. During this time Maud lived with her husband's parents. While here her first son was born. When John returned from his mission, he took his small family to Topliff where he had sub-contracted a rock quarry, his wife operating the boarding house for the workmen. The stay at Topliff included the years 1907-1911. Returning from Topliff, the family lived alternately in the First ward, the Third ward, and then again in the First ward. In January, 1939, the family moved to Provo, Brother Evans serving as County Sheriff and Maud supervising su-pervising .the feeding of the pris oners in the County jail. When Brother Evans was appointed ap-pointed Chairman of the State Road Commission, the family moved to Salt Lake City, July 1, 1941. Last summer a home was established in Lehi once more, this time in the Fifth ward. The new location proved to be Maud's last earthly home. Maud was a staunch Latter-Day Saint member and devoted as much time to church work as her health and family duties would permit. While in the First ward she was President of the Primary Association Associa-tion for five years. While holding this position, she gained the distinction dis-tinction of raising more money per capita of ward population for the support of the Children's Hospital than any other ward in the Church. Many a time she has gone to her Primary duties when she should have been in bed. She has been a Relief Society visiting teacher in Lehi, Provo, and in Salt Lake City. One, of her outstanding characteristics charac-teristics was her sacrifice of self. She would get up out of a 6ick bed to prepare a meal for the family or to nurse other members of the family who were less ill than she. Maud considered her family duties her first responsibility. When her health would not permit her to; take part in social affairs and also to look after her family, she chose the latter. j Her husband says she should i have been a man because of her I architectural talents.

Charles Turner residence. Mrs. Bennett, who was driving her 1941 Ford sedan, failed to see the train approaching from the north until the car approached the track. Apparently the car stalled, and sensing their danger, the two women jumped from the car, carrying car-rying the baby, just as the train struck the radiator, dragging the car some distance before it was released. re-leased. None of the three received injury, in-jury, except for minor scratches from their hurried exit from the car. The automobile was damaged to the extent of $000, according to Marshal Clemn Turner, who investigated. in-vestigated. Grant Ash Heads Honorary Service Unit at B.Y.U..

Her participation par-ticipation in the remodeling of the present home may have contributed contribut-ed to her final sickness.

The daughters-in-law were equally attentive a3 were also her sons and other members of the family did all that circumstances would permit. All of these attentions, atten-tions, Maud deeply appreciated. Practically her last words were that she wanted the members of the family to know that she loved them all.
