Today I found that the City of Evansdale has begun to issue a little community paper called, "The Evansdale Messenger." The following information was found in Vol 1, 2nd Issue, March, 1999.

 

Pictured above is Evansdale's first squad car, a 1941 Ford V8. Left is Bill Wilfand, Evansdale's first mayor and Art Ayers, the first town marshall. Pat Weber, who is not pictured, was the deputy.
