... The Pennsylvania Gazette, of September 23, 1774, contains this item: "Newark, September 17, 1774. This day was buried, in the nineteenth year of his age, Mr. John Evans, son of John Evans, Esq. This funeral was attended by clergymen of different denominations, and a great number of respectable people. The body was deposited in the Baptist graveyard at Welsh Tract, and a funeral oration made over it by the Rev. Morgan Edwards. The scene was truly mournful by reason partly of the unaffected grief painted in the countenances of the parents, who lost a son that had greatly endeared himself to their affections by a dutiful and pretty behavior and had raised high their expectation of his acting in life with propriety and honor, for which he stood qualified by a good understanding, benign temper and a liberal education."...
