F. Eversman, age 68, widely known for his work as a teacher
of voice and a director of the New Knoxville Community
Singers, died suddenly at 7:30 a.m. today at his home in New
Knoxville. Mr. Eversman had been seriously ill for some time
but had arisen at the usual hour this morning and was about
to eat breakfast when he was fatally stricken. He had taught
voice in the schools at New Knoxville and in schools of the
county system for 20 years. Most of the members of his famed
Community Singers had begun their study of voice with him in
the grade schools at New Knoxville. He was recognized for his
choral direction in invitations to the Singers to present
programs at Lakeside Chautaugua, at the Toledo Zoo, on the
radio and television, and in neighboring communities,
including St. Marys. He took much pride in the
accomplishments of his chorus and in the progress of the
pupils he taught privately. Before returning to New Knoxville
as a voice teacher in the public schols there he had taught
voice at the Eastern State Teachers College in Madison, South
Dakota and at Findlay College, Findlay. He was directer of
Zion Lutheran Church Choir in this city since 1957. He
formerly directed the New Knoxville United Church of Christ
Senior Choir for 10 years and the Junior Choir for eight
years. Mr. Eversman personally arranged much of the music his
choirs used, spending hours in these arrangements. Ferdinand

southeast of New Knoxville in Shelby County, the son of Henry
W. and Caroline Lutterbeck Eversman. His mother died this
last August 8. On September 9, 1919, he married Zella
Fledderjohann, who had cared for him tenderly during his
illness and who has served as his accompanist through the
years. In addition to his wife he is survived by one son,
James R. of Worthington, a granddaughter, Karen Eversman of
Worthington and a legion of friends. Mrs. Julius Eversman and
Mrs. S. R. Eversman, of New Knoxville, are sisters-in-law. He
was a member of First United Church of Christ (E&R) New
Knoxville, the Washington Post 444 American Legion, Disabled
American veterans at Wapakoneta, the three Masonic bodies in
St. Marys- Mercer Lodge, St. Marys Chapter and St. Marys
Council, the Shawnee Commandery, and the Scotish Rite at

War I, having served with the Medical Corps at Ft.
