The Columbus Journal, June 2, 1886
May 27th, by Rev. E.T. Hamel, C.D. Evans, M.D., and Miss L. Rose North.
The beautiful residence and grounds of Hon. James E. North were nicely prepared for the occasion, all being brilliantly lighted; nature added one of her loveliest May day evenings, so that the surroundings of the happy young couple were all that heart could well wish.
Promptly at eight, the bride leaning upon the arm of her father, the bridegroom with Mrs. North, stepped under the floral wedding-bell and the impressive service of the Episcopal church was pronounced.
Congratulations followed, hearty and sincere, for the young couple, intelligent, talented, kind-hearted and generous, are well worthy each other's affection and the good regards of everybody else.
The remainder of the evening was passed by the numerous guests, some three hundred in number, in social converse, and in the enjoyment of a bountiful wedding feast.
The Columbus Cornet Band appeared and gave some of their choicest music, always appropriate, and always pleasing. The Maennerchor, also, added their vocal tribute in appropriate songs.
The happy couple took the train for the west, whence returning, they will settle down to the ordinary affairs of life, through which the Journal hopes their way maybe ever bright and joyous.

The military chapter in the life record of Dr. Evans was written during the period of his early manhood, for at that time he became a member of Company H of the Tenth Regiment of the Pennsylvania National Guard, which he joined as a private in 1874, being commissioned second lieutenant by Governor Hartranft on the 3d of January, 1877. While he was thus serving, his regiment was called out in connection with the quelling of the riots of the strikers in the coal regions of Pennsylvania, and in the railroad riots at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1877.
