I have been waiting to see if others have more definitive information on the Evergreen Cemetery than I, but it appears that not many on the list are familiar with it so I will share what I know! The cemetery was established in 1863 and has been in use since then. I have walked it several times and would estimate that there are about 250-300 sites. I do not know street names but can give pretty accurate driving directions. Factoryville is north of Scranton on PA routes 6&11 just before they split. Going north, Factoryville is on the left with a single road leading into the village. The road crosses the East Branch of the Susquehannah River and goes up a hill. About halfway up the hill there is a church on the right (Methodist?). Evergreen is 2-3 blocks behind the church. Hope this helps someone! Jeff in CT
Thanks for the information. Do you know if the cemetery belongs to the church? I will keep the directions and if I make the trip from GA to PA this will give me some pointers.
