Will Noah Evans was boprn on September 4, 1882, in the community known as Union, Lee County, Mississippi, to Hiram Noah Evans and Julia D. Tooten Evans.  He was their second to last child and it was only eight years later that his father Hiram Noah died at the young age of 52.  Will Noah was raised by his mother and older siblings and about 1900 he married Annie Shackleford.  

The couple must have moved around a fair amount, but when their daughter Audrey May died at a young age in 1906, they buried her in the Union Methodist Cemetery in Lee County.  They had five other children that lived to an adult age.  Eventually they moved to West Memphis, Crittenden County, Arkansas, where Will Noah was the manager for some very large 'plantations'.  It was there on May 25, 1937, that he passed away.  Annie had apparently passed away by that time, but we are not sure where she is buried or when she died.  Will Noah's obituary made the front page news the day of his funeral at Union Methodist Church.  The obituary follows:
