Chauncey Acel Evans, Corporal, b. 23 June 1835 in Richford, Tioga Co., NY. d. 5 Dec 1915 in Collinsville, Rogers (now Tulsa) Co., OK and buried in Ridgelawn Cemetery, Collinsville, Tulsa Co., OK
Wife: Emily Lovina EARSLEY-ROBINSON. Father/Mother: Franklin EVANS and Phila ROBINSON
Service: On 6 August 1862 in the town of Richford, Tioga Co., NY Chauncey enlisted before R.H.S. Hyde as a Private for a term of three years in Co. B, 109th Infantry Regiment, New York Volunteers (see 109th Infantry) and (see Company 'B' ). At the time new recruits were paid a $100.00 'bounty' as an enticement to enlist... Chauncey received $25.00. On 9 August 1862 he was officially 'Enrolled' into Company B. Chauncey, along with 136 (5 Officers and 131 men) of his friends, neighbors and maybe even relatives, mustered into Company B on 11 August 1862 in Binghamton, Broome Co., NY. Binghamton was where the 109th was mustering-in and assembling to be equipped and to receive basic training for about 45-60 days. However their training was cut short as a result of General McClellan's frantic call to reinforce the defenses of Washington, D.C.
On 30 August 1862 the 109th left Binghamton, NY by train to their new assignment as railroad guards at Annapolis Junction, MD. The men of the 109th joined nearly 200,000 other men posted around Washington in tent cities. A soldier's life was miserable in these conditions. That fall and winter of 1862 and through the spring of 1863 was cold and wet with frequent snows. Their living conditions were pitiful and resulted in many men suffering from dysentery, diarrhea, dehydration, flu and aggravaited common colds. From official Army records Chauncey was sick: Sep 13-18, 1862 dysentery; 17-20 April, 1863 diarrhea. The summer and fall of 1863 was a better time though probably boring for the men as they did their duty guarding the railroads between Baltimore and the Capital.
