    3. Janet, Yes I have a description of every tombstone that was there when I took my survey of this 12-acre cemetery in Fall and Winter 1996. Here is what I have about Martha Summerford's tombstone: 5 foot tall, upright stone monument with curtains draped on the top and sides. Marker is in #2 condition (Good). There is only this marker on the gravesite, and no slab of any type. However, there is a small unmarked footstone. This is the only marked grave in plot # R-26. There is a possibility of other graves, and maybe room for more future burials. There is no coping, fencing or borders around the plot. Survey taken: 12 November 1996 by William A. Mills. If I had included all of this type of data in the Evergreen Cemetery book, the size of the book would have been 2 or 3 times the size it was. The Taylor Foundation was not used to funding individual cemetery projects, so I didn't push my luck with them by asking for the additional $1500 to include this data. The primary reason that I compiled the Evergreen Cemetery book, was to make it easier for researchers to find the graves. I don't know how many times I spent *hours* just trying to find one grave. Now, with the plat and info in the book, I can find any of those graves within about 10 minutes or less. For those of you who plan to make a visit to Evergreen Cemetery, I recommend that you obtain a survey plat that I have drawn of it. You can get one by photo-copying the one in the Evergreen Cemetery book at: 1. The Perry, Warner Robins or Centerville Public Libraries. 2. Perry City Hall. 3. Houston County, GA Probate Court. 4. Washington Memorial Library; Macon, GA. Take care! William A.
