Hi everyone, We have had the Evergreen Cemetery listing online for several years but I had given up on ever getting the photos for it. First, I couldn't find it, then when I did find it, I had to cross private property to get to it. Then when I contacted the leaser of the property he wouldn't let me through. Well of course we all know that a property owner has to give ingress and egress, but I was trying to do this without bringing out the big guns, so to speak. Well, our wonderful volunteer, Dennis Reed, hiked 10 1/2 miles to get those photos. I didn't know he was going to do that so I was quite surprised when all the photos came into my inbox. You can't imagine the happy dance I was doing. It's a wonder I didn't fall off my chair, I was so excited. So here folks, for your viewing pleasure are the Evergreen Cemetery photos. Can we ever thank Dennis enough for doing this for us? He even had on new boots and got blisters from the hike. THANK YOU Dennis, we are so grateful for your work!!! Please folks, say thanks to him here on the list. http://www.kmitch.com/Huerfano/evrgrncem.html Karen

Thank you Dennis for a job well done. Only a true genealogist would work that hard at getting info. To think a ten mile hike!!!!!!!! Hope the blisters are all healed. Janice
