Son of Thomas and Jane Beverly Daniel Evans, husband of Tracy Howard McClenaghan.
MARION - Capt. Asa L. Evans, one of the most highly esteemed citizens of Marion County, died Saturday in a hospital in Columbia and the body was brought here Sunday morning and interred in the burial ground at the Methodist church. The Rev. R. E. Stackhouse conducted the funeral service.

"Asa Louis Evans was born in Marion April 10, 1834, and died there 1905.
After attending the Marion Academy, he went to the SC Military Academy; he read law, and was admitted to practice at the bar of his state; he was engaged in practice in his home town when the call came, and he volunteered his services to the Confederacy; received the appointment of adjutant on the staff of his brother, General N. G. Evans, with the rank of captain; was actively engaged in all the campaigns of the latter, and retained his commission after the retirement of General Evans, and served on the staff of General Stephen D. Elliott, who succeeded to the command of Evans' Brigade. At the conclusion of the war he returned to Marion to take up the practice of his profession, which he gave up, however, as he refused to practice at a bar where negroes were admitted.
He married Miss Tracy McClenaghan, in 1865, and lived for years upon his plantation, finally returning to Marion. He left five children."

There are two markers for Asa Louis Evans in Marion. This one in Old Town Cemetery, which is where his obituary states he was interred. And one in Rose Hill Cemetery, where he was likely later moved.
