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.
