General Notes: Husband - Robert A. Evans
He was educated in the private schools of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and at Franklin and Marshall College. Choosing a business life, at the age of nineteen he went to Baltimore, Maryland, and for one year was clerk in a commission house, where he became conversant with general business. Returning, he carried on a general mercantile business in Lancaster until 1855, when he established a private bank, and continued in business alone for twelve years. In 1867 the banking-house of Evans, McEvoy & Co. succeeded his private bank, and continued business until the death of Mr. McEvoy, two years later, and was afterwards carried on under the banking firm name of R. A. Evans & Co. until 1871, and at that date succeeded by D. P. Locher & Son, who have remained in business since. Mr. Evans was closely identified with various local interests in and about Lancaster. For twenty years he carried on farming; was a director of the Farmers' Bank of Lancaster for several years prior to 1867; one of the managers and president of Woodward Hill Cemetery, and a member of the board of trustees of the Presbyterian Church. In 1859 he was elected a member of the Select Council of Lancaster, and served as a member, president of the Council, and on its important committees for a period of twenty-four years or more. In 1863 he was elected a school director, and by re-election served since as a member and chairman of the finance committee, a period of twenty years. [HLC 1883, 515]
