For the first time in the history of this institution we were called upon to mourn the loss of one of our instructors. Mrs. Sarah T. Evans, has been called to an Allwise Father to labor in another and far-better world. Mrs. Evans was born January 11, 1859 at Lehi, Utah. All her life, she has been an active worker in religious and social circles. For seventeen years she was secretary, and subsequently president of the Mutual Improvement organization of her town. She was also a member of the Lehi Dramatic Company. She married Mr. Prime Evans a lawyer of Lehi. His death leaving her a widow, she sought employment as a domestic arts teacher in our school, which position she has faithfully fulfilled: She worked not only in the school but also in the Weber Stake Sunday School Board until her health failed and she was compelled to seek rest from some of her labors. On January 15, 1908, her Father, whom she had so faithfully served, called her home to take up a new work. Having finished her duties here, she as was her wont, complied to the request and went without regret to meet her husband. Though she has left a vacant place in our hearts, we are sure things are brighter there and trust that life's path will be better strewn with flowers. The Acorn 5 In Memoriam A tribute, expressive of sorrow, appreciation, admiration and love, by the Board of Education of the Weber Academy: We feel deeply moved to express our heartfelt sorrow at the death of our beloved sister, Sarah Taylor Evans, a member of the faculty of the academy during the past four years, a woman of most excellent attainments and reputation. As an educator and instructor, Mrs. Evans was efficient and faithful in the discharge of every duty, true and honorable to every trust imposed; in school discipline aand government, firm yet courteous, affable and kind, she enjoyed the confidence, esteem and love of her pupils. In her department of domestic art and science she excelled in the excellence of her work. Her ever happy, cheerful, sympathetic nature oft expelled gloomy depressed feelings occasioned by complex studies, and like the sunbeam breaking through the clouds, she would inspire the student with new hope, encouragement and anticipation. After a few brief years of a felicitious married life, Sister Evans became a widow. She had no children but her great love led her to adopt two orphan girls, to whose best interests she served as a devoted and loving mother. Mrs. Evans' whole life has been devoted to educational work, both secular, social, and theological. Three years after her husband's death she left her native town, Lehi, where she was a leading factor in the cultivation and promotion of everything that was intellectual, virtuous and good, and came to Ogden. Attaching herself to the work of the academy, she was greatly beloved and admired by the faculty, students, parents, and the community generally. We extend to her aged mother, and brothers and sisters our condolence in their sad bereavement, feeling assured that in the beautiful record on so noble and well spent life, they will take great comfort and consolation. May our Heavenly Father, in His divine providence, extend to them and all who mourn, by His holy spirit, the comforting assurance that He has called to himself this our beloved sister for a wise purpose. In behalf of said board, L. W. SHURTLIFF, President JOSEPH STANFORD, Secretary.
