Gravesite, Obituary
Richard Evan's Pool Hall in Winona In July 1893, The Winona Times reported that "R.A. (Richard) Evans and William Southwick have rented Mrs. Carrigan's (Carnigan) home on Main Street and are building an addition to it wherein a pool table will be run in connection to the temperance hall."
Of course, Richard Evans ran a saloon, located on East 4th Street, but in the newspapers, it was always referred to as "a drink dispensary, where only temperance water is served."
Richard A. Evans was born in March, 1861 in Illinois. He was known to be a happy-go-lucky man, who loved saloons, horse-racing and the high life. He worked in Emmons County as a carpenter, for many buildings, and in the fall he would travel to the Red River for the wheat harvests. In 1895, he married Margaret Brennan, usually called Lillie, who had been born in April 1858 in Indiana, of Irish parents.
Richard Evans also had a burning dislike of Major Cramsie, the Indian Agent at Standing Rock Agency, across the Missouri River. If Winona failed as a town, Evans believed it would be Major Cramsie's fault, with his dislike of the town's prolific liquor trade. Evans called him "The Man with the Iron Nerve."
In January 1895, The Winona Times reported "R.A. Evans has his restaurant in good shape and is prepared to furnish first class meals at all hours."
Dick Evans died in 1906, while planning to open a Rexall Drugstore in Linton, ND.
