RICHARD EVANS, son of John and Lydia (Walker) Evans, is as the name Evans indicates, of Welsh extraction. He
was born March 26, 1830, in Ridgbury, Bradford county, Pa., and his life work has been to a great extent that of
a farmer. However on October 3, 1862, he enlisted in Co. G., 64th N. Y. Vols., for three years. He honorably did
service until mustered out near Washington on July 14, 1865. He was promoted to be sergeant in 1864 and held that
office until discharged. Like many of the Union soldiers he sacrificed his health to his country, and has never
