Charles Evans was on the faculty at Hill School for a number of years. He became interested in metallurgy and eventually moved to Pittsburgh where he was employed in the steel industry as a specialist on stainless steels. Charles was born in 1873 and graduated from Dickinson College probably about 1895. His tenure at Hill would have been after that, possibly before 1911. I suspect that he would have taught chemistry. That is all that I know. Thank you for your response. Fred Frantz ______________________________
Fred, Your Charles T. and Helen Evans were also in Titusville in 1930, only their house number changed and apparently Helen's mother moved in with them. 1900 118 E. Walnut St., Titusville, Crawford Co., PA Roll 2023 ED 48 Charles T. Evans, 57, m. age 40 years b. PA parents b. PA, manager steel works Helen E. Evans, 47, m. age 29, b. PA parents b. PA Charles T. Evans Jr., 12, son b. PA parents b. PA Helen B. Edwards, 78, widow, mother-in-law, m. age 23, A search of the 1900 census turned up one possible Charles T. Evans, but I have my doubts. 1900 Bugasan, Philippine Island, Military Naval Force Charles T. Evans, of 603 Cherry St., Norristown, PA b. April 1873, 27 years old, single, could read, write, and speaks English. There was a Charles T. Evans, b. PA, parents b. PA in the Oregan State Soldiers Home in East Roseburg, Douglas Co., Oregan in the 1930 census. (Roll 1943 p. 1A ED 68) who fought in the Spanish War and could be the Charles T. Evans of Norristown, while your Charles T. Evans was in Titusville in 1930. I looked for other family members at 603 Cherry St. in the 1900 Norristown Census with no success. I did find a Charles T. Evans at 831 DeKalb St., in the 1888 to 1893 city directories. Also living at this same address at the same time were R. Monaghan Evans and Elizabeth M. Evans. There was an Edmund/Edward M. Evans at 1044 DeKalb and a Rachel P. Evans on Dekalb, below 3rd & Bridgeport. A Cadwallader Evans on DeKalb at 2nd and Bridgeport and a Montgomery Evans at 900 DeKalb. Any of these names sound familiar? The only remotely possible Charles Evans I found in the 1880 census was a Charles Evans age 8, who was an inmate at school in the Asylum of Philadelphia Orphans Society on Landsdowne Ave. in Philadelphia. (Roll 1840 p. 9A ED 172). Charles was born in PA, his parents were born in PA and in the asylum with him was a Naomi Evans, age 6, who could have been a sibling. This Charles could read and write and spoke English. Betty
