RON EVANS, 87, UNDER CARE OF HOSPICE DIED SATURDAY AT PELLA,  IOWA,
WHERE HE AND DORIS HAVE LIVED FOR AROUND 15 YEARS.   HE WAS A LONGTIME
POLICEMAN HERE IN MAQUOKETA AND WAS CHIEF OF POLICE BEFORE HIS
RETIREMENT.    HE IS SURVIVED  BY DORIS AND DAUGHTER CHERYL AND FAMILY
ALSO AT PELLA.     CREMATION HAS TAKEN PLACE AND A MEMORIAL SERVICE
WILL BE HELD LATER.    GARDEN CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME IN PELLA IS SERVING
THE FAMILY.

HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND AND AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE ABOVE 1971 CALENDAR PHOTO, HE WAS ONE OF MY POLICEMEN WHEN I WAS MAYOR.    HE IS FIRST AT LEFT IN PHOTO.    AT LEAST 3 OTHERS IN THAT PHOTO ARE NO LONGER LIVING.     AND
NOTICE ALSO THAT THERE WERE 10 BUSINESS PLACES THAT SPONSORED THAT
CALENDAR AND 7 ARE NO LONGER HERE.     AND WITH RON'S PASSING,  I LOST A ANOTHER GOOD READER OF THIS "DAILY".

DON'T EAT TOO MUCH (DRINK LOTS OF WATER) ... WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN...
AND PRAY THAT THIS WEEK WILL GET BETTER THAN LAST WEEK.
SORRY TO REPORT, WE HAVE THE FIRST JACKSON COUNTY RESIDENT THAT
