 Animated by a pure and lofty patriotism, he enlisted August 2d, 1862, in Company K, Seventh Heavy Artillery Regiment, and when promoted, he was transferred to Company I.
-He was in the battles of Fredericksburg Road, Milford Station, North Anna River, Tollapotomy Creek and [[Cold Harbor]]. As a soldier, Lieut.

 The sentiments and principles expressed in these letters, Lieut. Evans labored to carry out in his daily life. Among the soldiers, he was the consistent, faithful and earnest Christian, and the warm, sympathizing friend. His reliance upon God was constant and firm, and he never forgot that he was the professed disciple of Jesus Christ. His religion sustained him in the camp, on the battle field, and in the last trying hour.

 ''Several hours after the battle, Lieutenant Charles Swaine Evans was resting in a strip of woods adjacent to the wagon track along with a group of men sharing a pot of coffee in some dense brush, where it was mistakenly believed that they would be safe from enemy sharpshooters. Evans had just accepted an offer to join them, and was in the act of drinking a cup of coffee, when he was shot in the right shoulder.  After two days of complete consciousness and in great agony, he died at the Division hospital and was buried nearby in a plowed field. For the next two years his family would seek his remains, which they wished to move north to a family plot. They would finally find his headboard, but it would be 2 miles from the hospital area, and no remains would be found underneath the marker.
