Thank you, Karen. I'm sad to admit I saw this website last year and posted my own comment to it. I am also a contributor to Findagrave.com and have found at least 63 postings of interments in Evergreen. I would love to get anyone who wants to help involved. So my answer is yes, please and thank you. Yours, Shawntez Karen McLean <kayceelv@hotmail.com> wrote: We have some pictures of Evergreen cemetery on our website, Richmond Then and Now (http://richmondthenandnow.com/Evergreen-Cemetery-1.html). It really is in a sad state. I suggest you contact A. C. Griffith (His contact info is at the bottom of each page of our site.) He has looked into this also, and may have info that will be helpful in the effort. I'd be happy to put something up on the website to try to drum up some support if you think it would be helpful.
