    FRYSINGER EVANS, a young lawyer who is coming to the front in his
  profession in Cumberland county, is a native of Pennsylvania, born at
  Sunbury, Northumberland county. He is a son of Rev. William W. Evans, D. D.,
  a native of Lewistown, Pa., and a prominent divine of the Methodist Episcopal
  Church, presiding elder of the Danville district. Through him our subject
  claims Welsh ancestry, while through his mother, who was formerly Alice A. A.
  Frysinger, of York, Pa., he has German blood in his veins. He is descended
  from Revolutionary stock on both paternal and maternal sides.
 
    Frysinger Evans received his literary training principally at the Dickinson
  Preparatory School, Carlisle, Pa., and subsequently took a special law course
  at the University of Pennsylvania. He was admitted to the Bar in Cumberland
  county in 1901, from which time up to the present he has been in active
  practice in Carlisle, where he has already gained a good reputation for
  honorable services in his various transactions. From Dickinson College he
  received the degrees of A. B. and A. M. He still holds membership in the Phi
  Beta Kappa and the Phi Kappa Psi.
 
    In 1898 Mr. Evans was chairman of the Finance committee and member of the
  Executive committee of the Associated Societies of Red Cross. In 1899 he was
  appointed vice-consul to Hamburg, Germany, but he did not accept. Mr. Evans
  has served in such positions from early manhood, having in 1895 acted as
  statistician to the Forestry committee of Pennsylvania, and in every
  incumbency he has proved himself worthy and efficient. He is at present
  serving as treasurer of Dickinson College. Socially Mr. Evans holds
  membership in the Pennsylvania Society, Sons of the Revolution. He is a
  Republican in political sentiment, casting his first vote for Harrison, and
  in religion is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
 
    Mr. Evans was married, in 1901, in Philadelphia, to Miss Edith Perrine
  Brewster, of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.
