    1. [GAHOUSTO] D.H. Houser & Evergreen Cemetery
    2. Ruby Brown
    3. Hi, I have checked with the Mayor's secretary at Perry City Hall in regards to a lot for David H. Houser. The lady was very nice and very helpful. The City acquired Evergreen from the Methodist Church. She went through the file cards on the lots and there was not a lot listed to David H. Houser. She then pulled the Cemetery records compiled by the University of GA and it showed no burial of David H. Houser or his second wife, Helen Houser. She checked another document and neither were listed on it. David's first wife, Eliza and their son, are in an enclosed area. There are other markers with different names in this area that are no known relatives of the Houser family. Mr. Mills excellent book on the cemetery does not list David or Helen. The appropriate issues of the Houston Home Journal carries the obituaries of Helen and David with the comment that they are to be buried in Evergreen Cemetery. A foot search of the cemetery revealed no markers for David or Helen. However, in the enclosure there are 2 unmarked slabs in the right-hand rear corner with no inscriptions on them. My interest in this matter is my ggrandmother, Susan Dorothy Jones Murray, was sister to Helen Jones Houser. Helen is the ggrandmother of Patrice Green of Florida. Skeet Brown
