A native of Virginia, Evans came to the Tabernacle Rescue Home a “fallen woman and a hopeless case, addicted to morphine and cigarettes.” It was said that a “miracle had been worked on her” when she overcame her addictions and began a new life helping other girls who came to the home. Four years before her death, she was designated the matron of the home because she had successfully assisted more than 200 girls, “turning them onto the path of Christian womanhood.” She died of apoplexy at the age of 35.
(1880-1915) (Daisy, lot 7, row I)
