  Anecdote	1912  [13]
  	.... Mr. Evans was united in marriage, in 1888, to Miss Nina Mabee, a daughter of John and Celeste (Swart) Mabee. The father was born at Hoffmans Ferry, Schenectady county, New York, and is a member of one of the old Holland families who settled at a very early period in the Mohawk valley in the state of New York. On the old homestead the house is still standing which was built many years before the Revolutionary war. Many of the descendants of the Mabee family were volunteer soldiers in the war for independence. John Mabee, the father of Mrs. Evans, is a veteran of the Civil war, having enlisted in Company E of a New York regiment. At the close of the war he removed to Wisconsin and established his home in Plymouth township. For some little time after taking up his abode in Wisconsin he was employed by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company, but later returned to his farm where he remained until 1900, after which time he removed to Plymouth, Wisconsin, and there has since maintained his residence. To Mr. and Mrs. John Mabee two children were born: Nina, who was born September 20, 1869, and is the wife of the subject of this review; and Giles, who is a resident of Plymouth, Wisconsin.
