Note 2: Burial info Morwell Advertiser 20 Dec 1945 GEORGE PERCY EVANS FAILING health over the past few years had made not unexpected the news of the passing of a former leading citizen and business man of Morwell in the person of George Percy Evans, who died at his home at 204 Tennyson Street, St. Kilda, on 14th December. Coming to Morwell in 1913 from Mur toa, where he was born, to take over the authorised newsagency business, he quickly found time to actively engage in the public, social, sporting and com munity life of the town. In twenty-four years residence in Morwell he became an elected member of the Waterworks Trust and held the office of chairman for a period. He was active in the mannage ment of the affairs of the old Mechanics' Institute, and prior to his death was the sole remaining trustee. He was also keenly interested in the State School, of whose committee of management he was a member. Despite a busy business and public life, the late Mr. Evans gave his attention to most every sporting activity in the town. As a member of the local Bowling Club he played an important part, not only in furthering the general interests of the club, but also in upholding its prestige in inter-club conpetitions,. His love for the game led him, on trans ferring to Melbourne, to join up with the South St. Kilda Club, in which he held at varying times the two. preminer posi tions of president and club champion. He was a member of ithe A.N.A. and Masonic Lodges, to the affairs of Which he devoted the same zeal as characterised his other activities. It was a great comfort to him during his recent illness to have had the oppor tunity of welcoming home his son, War rant Officer Jack Evans, from P.OW. camps in Germany. The widespread circle of his friends in this district, joins with the family in mourning his death,
