Mr. Evans owned and operated a General Store in the area of Wayhomer. He worked the turpentine trade, and was a farmer during his lifetime. His friends called him "Big Frank", because, in his prime, he stood 6'4" and weighed 250 pounds. His wife was very small in stature. Mr. Evans died in Clinch County on November 18, 1947, and his wife died on May 7, 1952. Both are buried at Antioch Church Cemetery in the Argyle area of Clinch County.
