My Genealogy Hound

FRYSINGER EVANS, a young lawyer who is coming to the front in his profession in Cumberland county, is a native of Pennsylvania, born at Sunbury, Northumberland county. He is a son of Rev. William W. Evans, D. D., a native of Lewistown, Pa., and a prominent divine of the Methodist Episcopal Church, presiding elder of the Danville district. Through him our subject claims Welsh ancestry, while through his mother, who was formerly Alice A. A. Frysinger, of York, Pa., he has German blood in his veins. He is descended from Revolutionary stock on both paternal and maternal sides.

Frysinger Evans received his literary training principally at the Dickinson Preparatory School, Carlisle, Pa., and subsequently took a special law course at the University of Pennsylvania. He was admitted to the Bar in Cumberland county in 1901, from which time up to the present he has been in active practice in Carlisle, where he has already gained a good reputation for honorable services in his various transactions. From Dickinson College he received the degrees of A. B. and A. M. He still holds membership in the Phi Beta Kappa and the Phi Kappa Psi.

In 1898 Mr. Evans was chairman of the Finance committee and member of the Executive committee of the Associated Societies of Red Cross. In 1899 he was appointed vice-consul to Hamburg, Germany, but he did not accept. Mr. Evans has served in such positions from early manhood: having in 1895 acted as statistician to the Forestry committee of Pennsylvania, and in every incumbency he has proved himself worthy and efficient. He is at present serving as treasurer of Dickinson College. Socially Mr. Evans holds membership in the Pennsylvania Society, Sons of the Revolution. He is a Republican in political sentiment, casting his first vote for Harrison, and in religion is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Chiurch.

Mr. Evans was married, in 1901, in Philadelphia, to Miss Edith Perrine Brewster, of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.
