Perry Oliver Everts History
added this on 6 Oct 2009
On April 3rd 1867 Civil War Veteran Perry O. Everts Married Harriet A. Whiting Daughter of Nathan and Harriet Whiting in Van Buren County Michigan. The town of Evart Michigan is named for this man. Perry Oliver Everts (also known as Frank) enlisted in the Union Army July 24 1861 in LaGrange co., Indiana. and fought in the Civil War. He served with The 1st Indiana Heavy Artillery Company “A” as a private and mustered out Jan 13, 1866. After the war he came back to Michigan where he was born in 1843, and purchased 80 acres where the town of “EVART” now stands. At the town’s organizational meeting in 1870, they wanted to name the township for the earliest settler and a Civil War veteran. John Smith was the choice, but Smith was such a common name that he passed to Frank (Perry) Everts as the next settler in the township. Everts’ name was misspelled and that misspelling was allowed to stand. Lumber baron Delos A. Blodgett officially platted the town in 1872, the same year it was officially organized as a village. Evart was a strategic point for sorting timber that was floated down the Muskegon. It was later organized as a city in 1930.
Everts was a farmer and a well liked man by all accounts. Perry and Harriet had 8 children. Perry died in a barn raising accident in his early 40s.
His tombstone in Forest Hill Cemetery in Evart reads:
Perry O. Everts, 1845-1891. Perry O. Everts age 46 buried Jan. 11. 1891.
In 1975, an Everts' granddaughter, Ruth, who knew Harriet Whiting Everts, visited Evart and brought the portaits of Frank and Harriet to Evart. In the article, she says Harriet died in 1920 at her home (Ruth was 6). Harriet Whiting Everts moved with daughters family to Snohomish, Washington, where she died in 1920, and is buried at the G.A.R. Cemetery.
