Judge Stephen Evans was the second child and eldest son of his father's family. He grew to manhood under the sturdy in- fluences of pioneer life, this entire county being then almost an unbroken wilderness -the red man and wild beasts roaming at large through these wild domains, one of the Indian camping-grounds being located near his boyhood home; and on that portion of Wayne Township known as " Prairie," he often plied the oar of his canoe, lighted by a torch, in search of deer. He never attended school till seventeen years of age, having received from his parents what little instruction he received prior to that age. When he arrived at his majority, he started out pump-making. This occupation he followed, using some of his means thus acquired in gaining a further education, till, becoming qualified, he began teaching school ; this occupation, together with pump- making, he followed several years.

He commenced in life with- out means, and by diligence and industry he became possessed of an ample competeney. Judge Evans, in all his official career, manifested a straightforward course, marked by a strict integrity of conduct in all his publie trusts, as well as in his private transactions with his own neighbors.
