I had never seen my Grandmother’s obituary before because I couldn’t read when I was five-years old. My Father-in-law found this on a genealogy website.

Mrs. Anna Evans, of 1520 Center St., Ashland, died at her home at 7 am Saturday. She was born in Girardville March 17, 1915, a daughter of the late DeLance and Laura (Wagner) Jones.

She was a former resident of Locustdale. Mrs. Evans was previously hospitalized.

She was a member of Bethany Evangelical Church, Ashland and the Auxiliary to the Prince of Peace Commandery 39, Ashland. Surviving are her husband, Warren, a daughter, Laura, wife of James Trommetter, of Coopersburg; a sister, Mrs. Alice Horbach, of Ashland; two grandchildren, one nephew.

Services will be held Tuesday morning at the Kull Funeral Home with Rev. H. David Albright of Bethany Church officiating; interment in Christ Church Cemetery, Fountain Springs.
