  CHARLES WESLEY EVANS, M. D.  In the practice of medicine and surgery Mr. Evans has been successfully engaged at Springfield for a number of years, and in addition to devoting his best talents and resources to his professional clientele he has also figured in the development of real estate and is one of the large property owners of the city.
     Doctor Evans was born in Jackson County, Ohio, July 25, 1871, son of John W. and Margaret (Cherrington) Evans, his father a native of Jackson County and his mother of Gallia County.  The paternal grandparents, William and Margaret Evans, were natives of Wales, and came to America by sailing ship in 1818.  From Pittsburgh they journeyed down the Ohio River on a boat as far as Gallipolis, but their intention to proceed further was frustrated when their boat was cut loose for the purpose of making them stay.  They subsequently secured land in Jackson County.  the maternal grandparents of Doctor Evans were William and Margaret (Hanks) Cherrington, both natives of England, and early settlers in Jackson County.  Four sons of William Cherrington became ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church.  John W. Evans and wife after their marriage settled on a farm in Jackson County and lived out their lives as country people in that community.  John W. Evans died in 1903 and his wife in 1912.  They reared a large family of eight sons and two daughters, Charles W. being the seventh in order of birth.
     Doctor Evans after the local schools continued his education in the Ohio Normal University and the Ohio Wesleyan University.  He graduated in medicine from Starling Medical College of Columbus, and soon afterward came to Springfield, where he began practice with his brother Doctor Orin H. Evans.  Together they erected a large three-story brick building at 554 South Limestone Street, where Doctor Evans still has his home.  His brother, Dr. Orin H., died in August, 1909.  Doctor Evans is president of the  Springfield Apartment Company, incorporated for $100,000.  This company built the Southern Apartments on South Lime Street.
     Doctor Evans is a member of the Clark County, Ohio State and American Medical Associations, is a republican voter and is a trustee of the High Street Methodist Church.
     On June 10, 1907, he married Miss Nellie Blanche Wiley, a native of New Park, Pennsylvania, and daughter of John C. and Luella Wiley.  They have one son, Haden Wiley Evans, born Nov. 28, 1913.
