Beloved Eagle photographer Don Evans Dies at age 96
Donald Evans died Thursday, March 3, at Cobble Hill Health Center, where he had been a patient for the past five years. He was a survivor of bladder cancer, but most recently suffered two bouts of pneumonia which weakened him. He was born May 14, 1919, in Portsmouth, Ohio. His father, H. R. Evans, worked as a railway clerk in Portsmouth.
Evans graduated from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, with a degree in journalism thanks to the GI Bill. World War II had interrupted his college career, but he returned to the campus after the war and graduated in 1948.
