I don't know of any Evergreen St. in Wyoming, MI. My current map of the Grand Rapids area shows Evergreen St. being entirely in Grand Rapids, not Wyoming, a suburb of GR. It runs from Union to Kalamazoo Avenues, an area that never was in Wyoming, or in its predecessor, Wyoming Township. There is Oakdale School, an elementary school right on Evergreen St. I'm not sure where people living there would have gone to Jr. High, but I'm quite sure they would have gone to South High School. South was a GR Public Schools High School started about 1916. (That is where former President Gerry Ford attended.) It is no longer in use. The GR Public Libraries Local History Section has a lot of information about the schools in the area. They, the library, are temporarily located at 1100 Hynes Ave. SW, GR, 49507, Phone 616-988-5400. Those are temporary, until late this year, when they will move back into their renovated quarters downtown. They do have yearbooks of the GR High Schools. The Library is probably on line too. I know nothing about boxing, but again the Library History Section probably will know all about it. Hope this helps you.

Hi Ralph. Thank you very much. There must have been an Evergreen Street there in 1920, as it is written on the census record. Hmmm. I will keep digging. Thanks a bunch!
