David Clifton Evans, also known as "Little Dave" or just "L.D." was the first male child born to Dave Evans and Rosie Tooten Evans.  He was born on January 7, 1875 in the Union Community of Lee County, Mississippi.  He grew up on his father's farm there with a number of other brothers and sisters and close double-first cousins.  

At the age of 23, on February 16, 1898, he married Miss Johnnie Williams, the daughter of Captain Jim Williams.  She was four years his younger, born on July 25, 1880.  A few days before their second Christmas together, she gave birth to their first child, Lowery Boyd Evans.  The 1900 census found them here:

He and Johnnie had another son, "Cot", in 1902, and a daughter Jewel in 1904.  In 1908 they had a boy named Edgar, and in 1911 they had a little girl named Jo Kate Evans who unfortunately died the next year.   Their last child, David Hudson Evans, was born in 1914.

David was a farmer and he also kept a small dairy herd, but he was better known as a merchant.  He was a teacher for a while also and when he quit he told his children and grandchildren it was because he became brokenhearted when the children would have to move onto the next grade!  He ran a store and was often mentioned in the Tupelo Daily Journal (possibly becuase he advertised with them) when he came to Tupelo on business.
