Charles Evans Cemetery | Drone Tour | Reading PA

Come take a drone tour of Reading's largest and oldest non-secular burial ground. In 1846 Charles Evans donated the first 25 acres that became the cemetery. In the 177 years since, the cemetery added 93 more acres and has interred 62,000 bodies. Some of them were Berks County's most influential, prosperous and industrious of their time.

I went to St.Margarets School. And as a adult I was Gertrude Sternberghs (Stirling's owner) private nurse for the last 5yrs. of her life. Right across from the entrance to Charles Evans Cemetery. The Cemetery allowed Gertrude Sternbergh the use of the Cemetery for parking of her guests when she had huge parties. She had valet parking in the Cemetery. Gertrude Sternbergh rests in peace right across from the witches hat pavilion. In her family's plot. Gertrude Sternbergh was a amazing musician, the founder of the Reading music foundation. A true pillar of her community. She was a wonderful, kind, person. You forgot to mention the church that caught fire inside the Cemetery.

Thank you, that means a lot to me! My subject matter is pretty niche so I doubt I'll ever get too big but it's definitely growing!

Thank you for putting this together. Beautiful architecture and excellent craftsmanship. A shot of the witch's hat pavilion from the underside would have been nice to see. Also , more attention of the ornamental ironwork of the black fence surrounding that family plot too.
