I suppose you have an answer by now, but have you checked the Prairie Twp cemetery about a mile north of Holmesville? My family is buried there.

They lived in Holmesville before they were entered into the County Home, and the County Home is right beside of Holmesville. I was hoping someone near Holmesville would know of a cemetery in that area. Thanks for your response. John D.

There is a book in the Millersburg library listing all just about all of the county's cemeteries and tombstone information. It is an original typed manuscript from the 1970's. The Prairie Township Cemetery is on pages 206-214. No Evans are buried there. I don't have any other pages photocopied. It would be great if someone in Millersburg scanned the book and posted it on the web.
