Charles Evans Cemetery is an historic,nonsectarian,garden-style cemetery located in the city of Reading,Pennsylvania. It was founded by Charles Evans (1768-1847),a son of Quaker parents and native of Philadelphia who became a prominent attorney and philanthropist in Reading during the late 18th and early 19th century. After donating the cemetery's first 25 acres and $2,000 to support the early development and operations phase of this public burial ground,he then ensured the cemetery's long-term stability by bequeathing a roughly $67,000 endowment from his estate,following his death in 1847 to support beautification of the grounds and other perpetual care activities. Sited atop a hill,the cemetery was initially located outside of the city when Evans first donated the land,but was absorbed into Reading's boundaries as the city developed to meet the needs of its expanding population.
