Memorial Service for Judge Robert Evans Scheduled for July 23, 2010.
A memorial service for Judge Robert Evans is scheduled for Friday, July 23, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. at the Smith County Courthouse in Raleigh. Here is Judge Evans' obituary, which ran in the Clarion-Ledger on Sunday.
In addition to his legal and judicial career, Judge Evans was an avid historian and authored The Sixteenth Mississippi Infantry: Civil War Letters and Reminiscences. 
I recommend the book for Civil War buffs. It is quiet moving at times, such as when you learn that men whose letters you had been reading were killed in battle.
I never told Judge Evans that I read and enjoyed his book because I didn't want to look like an ass-kisser. But now I wish that I had.
