- Obituary, Times Leader, 5 July 1911, p. 20, "Death of Mrs. James Morgan":
Born at Beaufort, Monmouthshire, 14 May 1841. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Evans, emigrated to America when she was three months old and settled first at Pottsville, Pennsylvania, where her father was a foreman for the Frank Daniels Coal Co.; then at Summit Hill, again as foreman; then at Middleport, where he was accidentally drowned at a dam near their home. Her brother Daniel H. Evans, then a young boy, was with him at the time.
She came to the Wyoming Valley about 1873, living first at Nanticoke. She had a paralytic stroke about eighteen months before her death, followed by further strokes, the last on Friday 30 June 1911. She died at 1 Lee Park Avenue at 5.15 pm on 4 July 1911, aged 70. Survived by her husband and two brothers, Daniel H. Evans of Ashley and Alfred Evans of Lee Park. The paper describes her as of a very cheerful and kind disposition. Funeral Saturday 8 July 1911 from the residence (Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, 6 July 1911, p. 6). Burial place not yet found.
1910 census: married 28 years, her SECOND marriage; mother of 4 children, none living. Her first husband's name is not known, so her children may have been from that marriage. No children are named in either her obituary or James's.
