Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):

ICHARD D. McEVOY, D. D. S.

A prominent citizen of Missouri Valley, Iowa, is R. D. McEvoy, who has been practicing dentistry in that city since the spring of 1900. He has not only been one of the leaders of his chosen profession in the city, but has been one of the leaders in many activities in the life of the community. He belongs to that class of men who are interested in the things about them and never fails to give his hearty support to any measure which he feels will be of general benefit to the body politic.

Dr. R. D. McEvoy, the son of Edmund and Mary (Kelly) McEvoy, was born at Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, January 14, 1870. His parents were both natives of Ottawa, where his father was engaged in agricultural pursuits. In 1871 Edmund McEvoy came to the United States and located in LaGrange township, Harrison county, Iowa. He farmed in that township until 1888, and then moved to Adair, Iowa, where he lived for some time. His wife died in Missouri Valley, and his death occurred in Canada, where he was visiting at the time. Edmund McEvoy and wife were the parents of nine children, two of whom are living in Harrison county, Dr. R. D. and M. T., the latter of whom is employed in the bank at Mondamin, Iowa. Eight of the children are still living.

Doctor McEvoy was only about one year old when his parents came from Canada to Harrison county, Iowa. After completing the common- and high-school courses of this county, Doctor McEvoy spent one year at Creighton University at Omaha. He then entered the Chicago College of Dental Surgery and was graduated from that excellent institution in the spring of 1900. On May 14th of that year he located in Missouri Valley for the practice of his profession and has built up a large and lucrative business in the city and throughout the county.

Doctor McEvoy was married April 8, 1901, to Mattie Fitzpatrick, of Churdan, Greene county, Iowa, and to this union two children have been born, Dorothy, aged twelve, and Leonard, aged ten. Doctor McEvoy and his family are loyal members of the Catholic church.

In the civic life of his community Doctor McEvoy has borne a prominent and honorable part. He has taken a leading part in Democratic politics and has served on the city council. He was a member of the Commercial Club at the time the streets were paved, and was one of the influential factors in bringing about his desired improvement. He is secretary of the library board, president of the Auto Club, a member of the Commercial Club and has served on its board of directors. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Modern Woodmen of America. He also is a member of the Iowa Dental Association and the National Dental Association, and has served as president of the District Dental Association of Iowa. In addition to his other interests in Missouri Valley, he owns a well improved farm three and one-half miles southwest of the city and takes a keen interest in modern agriculture. He is a director and stockholder in the States Savings Bank, of Missouri Valley, and a counselor of the Lincoln Highway Association. Dr. R. D. McEvoy is a genial and wholesouled man who has a large acquaintance throughout the county and is distinctly one of the representative men of his community.
