Biographical Note
Warren Thomas Evans (1871-1959) was originally from Indiana, but after his marriage
to Pearl Mae Bangs (1881-1974) in Iowa on September 2, 1902, he moved to Minnesota.
In 1912, after the birth of his children, Warren Raymond (1905-1990) and Ruth C.
(1908-1980), Evans took up a homestead claim in Toole County, Montana, one mile
south of town of Shelby. Evans worked as a dentist and also as the Toole County
assessor for 32 years. At the time of his retirement, Evans held the record for the
longest term of service in the State.
The Warren Raymond Evans photographs in this collection are entirely copies of
informal snapshots of the Evans family, their homestead, and family trips to
Browning and Glacier National Park during the 1910s and 1920s. All images have copy
negatives; most of the prints created from them are of poor quality.
This collection is open for research.
Original photographs of the Warren Thomas Evans family of Toole County, Montana, were
loaned to Montana State University Library for duplication in 1970 by Warren Raymond
Evans of Shelby, Montana. After copy negatives and prints were produced, the
photographs were returned to Evans and their present location is unknown. In 1979
this collection was reported to the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections
and assigned control number 79-652.
