30 years ago- July 26, 1991
The Social Register:
Beginning anew, an old family tradition of reunions, the Evans family held their second at the William C. Russell Park on July 21. It was in the late 1940s, said Bonnie Iverson, of Thornton, when the family discontinued the annual event. Iverson and cousin Barbara Clemm are trying to re-establish the need for family contact in the many descendants of Samuel Evans. Evans, their great-great-grandfather, came from Illinois at the onset of the Colorado Gold Rush. Evans and his wife Jenny made their home at 28 Spruce Street. He was buried in the Central City Cemetery in 1896. Iverson’s grandmother, Ethel Evans Christensen, who will be 90 on November 28, attended the reunion of almost 100, which include five generations of the Evans family.
