About the Evans Cemetery
The City of Evans Cemetery, located at the intersection of Highway 34 and 11th Avenue, has been owned and operated by the City since the early 1860s. Some residents said they have heard that the cemetery was known as Boot Hill, but others said they have always heard it called Evans. The town records were destroyed by fire in 1903 and 1937. In 1911, vandals entered the cemetery and destroyed 20 of the finest tombstones. In the 1950s, Mr. Henry Behrens, a native and long time business man of Evans, left part of his estate to the cemetery for care and upkeep.
