• Anecdote, 1912. .... 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.
