Clarksville lawyer and former TBA President F. Evans Harvill died Monday at 95. A graduate of Vanderbilt University Law School, Harvill first practiced law at a Clarksville firm that would later became Daniel, Harvill, Batson & Nolan and then Batson Nolan PLC. Another TBA president, Dan Nolan, still practices at the firm. Harvill served as TBA president from 1979-1980. He also spent decades promoting Austin Peay State University as one of its most trusted ambassadors and advisors, the Leaf Chronicle reports. He helped launch the Mabry Concert Hall project, raised more than $500,000 for fine arts, and established several endowed scholarships in the arts. His connection to the school began when his father joined the faculty to teach history. He later went on to serve as president of the school. Visitation will be held Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Monday from noon to 1 p.m. at Madison Street United Methodist Church of Clarksville. A Celebration of Life Service will follow visitation on Monday at the church. Burial will follow at Greenwood Cemetery.
