The body of former Idaho Gov. John V. Evans is now lying in state in the rotunda of the state Capitol, and will be until 4 p.m. Here, friends, well-wishers, acquaintance and fans line up to pay respects to Evans’ family, including his wife, Lola.

The casket was carried in by a military honor guard, and three living Idaho governors, former Govs. Phil Batt and Dirk Kempthorne and current Gov. Butch Otter, presented a wreath and saluted the two-plus term Democrat who was Idaho’s 27^th governor, serving from 1977 to 1987. “Gov. Evans firmly led our state through challenging times and was able to do so by working across partisan divides,” Kempthorne said in a statement. There were no speeches at the Capitol ceremony today.

Evans’ funeral is at 5 p.m. today at the Cathedral of the Rockies in Boise; a memorial service and burial will follow tomorrow in Malad.
