    • The Gridley Herald, November 28, 1908.
      PROMINENT CITIZEN DIES SUDDENLY

      J. A. Evans, of this place, one of the best known cattle men in Northern California, and a prominent business man in the vicinity for forty years, was found dead in his bed this morning by Supervisor C. H. Brown, who resides with the Evans family. Mr. Brown had gone to the barn to milk, and noticing that Mr. Evans had not gotten up he went to his room to see him, Mr. Evans having been somewhat unwell for a few weeks, and found the latter dead. The body was cold and it was evident that death had occurred early in the night.

      J. A. Evans was a native of Illinois, and would have been 70 years old had he lived until his next birthday. He came to California about 1852, while a young boy, with his father and they settled in Yuba county. Since the sixties he has been engaged in farming near Gridley, and in company with John Bogles conducted extensive grain farming operation. In the 80's the firm failed for a large amount, losing heavily by the collapse of a warehouse filled with grain, the wheat getting wet. Afterward Mr. Evans formed a co-partnership with M. Reyman and went into cattle feeding extensively on the Ord ranch. He accumulated a large fortune in this industry and at the time of his death, the firm, Reyman, Evans & Brown, were heavily interested in cattle, horses and mules. Supervisor Brown, who is a son-in-law of the deceased, is the third member of the firm.

      Familiarly and widely known by the nickname of "Doc" Mr. Evans has been a feature of the business life of this community for half a century. His firm often made deals in cattle involving the payment of large sums of money, running to $100,000 at times. Though plain in his tastes and unpretentious, Mr. Evans was charitable and large of heart. Many benefactions were made by him and many a poor family was helped over tight times by his generosity. His familiar figure on the streets and driving to and from the Ord ranch will be missed by old and young.

      The funeral will occur Monday, November 30, at 2 o'clock p. m., from Masonic hall, Gridley, under the auspices of North Butte Lodge No. 230, F. & A. M.
