My Genealogy Hound

James Henry Evans is one of the honest and thrifty tillers of the soil of Bradley County, Ark., and the estate which he is now engaged in cultivating embraces 200 acres, land well adapted to the purposes of general farming, and in his operations he displays those sterling principles which have ever characterized the native Louisianan. Fifty-five acres are under the plow, and are well adapted to raising all the cereals, cotton, grasses, etc. Mr. Evans was born in Claiborne Parish. La., January 5, 1856, and is the second child born to John Evans and wife, who moved to Bradley County, Ark., about the year 1860, and from there to Nevada County, Ark., in November, 1873, where he still resides. James H. Evans was reared principally in Bradley County, and in his youth was given a common school education. He commenced life for himself as a poor boy, and a farmer’s boy at that, but owing to his advanced and progressive ideas, coupled with industry and perseverance, he is now in possession of a comfortable competence. In his political views he has always been a Democrat, and supports the men and measures of that party. November 27, 1887, he was united in marriage to Miss Ruth I. Childs, who was born in Bradley County, and by her he has a bright little son, named Jimmie I.
