Biographical History
Jon A. Evans was born in Ceder, Utah and married Florence Nelson in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1887. They had 9 children together. His penmanship and typewriting skills enabled him to serve as an asset to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as he typed detailed minutes and reports.
