Job Evans & Harriet Tiana Thomas

Job Evans & Harriet Tiana Thomas
(Parents of Amy Evans, Mother of Franklin D White, Father of Simeon Woodrow White, Father of Alan J White)


Job Evans was born in Wales. He married Harriet Tiana Thomas. Their three oldest children immigrated to the United States with Job’s brother John when he returned to Utah from his LDS mission to Wales. Job intended to follow when he had his affairs in order. Sadly however, he passed away before he was able to join them.

            At the time of his death, October 11, 1889, Job was working as a coal trimmer. He was hit and run over by a horse attached to a crank-axle cart driven by Henry Yendell in Llandaff, Cardiff, Wales. He was buried Llandaff Cemetery, Llandaff Cardiff, Wales.
