Thomas died at 65 years, 0 months, 25 days

According to the Illinois Marriage Index, Thomas married Carrie Bell in 1889 at the age of 22. Not much is known about him except that Dorothy (Keene) Frohlich remembers that he (Grandpa Evans) used to come by when she was very young (less than 5 yrs old)...

In the 1910 census, he is listed as a post office clerk, but in the entry above him the person is listed as a blacksmith, the same job that Thomas had during the 1900 census. Perhaps this was a transcription error on the part of the 1900 census taker, or perhaps he switched jobs to work for the post office between 1900 -1910...
