Linden news - O.P. C. Evans, one of our oldest and best citizens, passed to the higher life on Monday. The remains were buried Wednesday. All sympathize with the family. A good man is gone, brilliant life is left behind. He was a man of more than usual intellectual and business qualities, also the friend of all the poor, need and unfortunate of the human family - kbz
