    1. [VAIL] EVERGREEN CEMETERY, PLAINFIELD, UNION COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

    3. BlankEvergreen Cemetery is located on Plainfield Avenue between 4th & 5th Streets in Plainfield, New Jersey. It is quite an old cemetery owned 2 Churches: First Park Baptist Church 315 W. 7th Street Plainfield, NJ 07060 and Convent United Methodist Church 631 E. Front Street Plainfield, NJ 07060 The cemetery is in bad condition. Even though it has a fence around it, there is no caretaker on the property. Many of the tombstones have been pushed over and there is much vandalism. The Churches are barely able to keep the grass cut, much less pay for any repair or replacement of the tombstones. It has a very lonely feel to it. I visited Evergreen in July of 2000, found my relatives and wished there was something I could do. So I decided to post the tombstone inscriptions which were cataloged and typed by The Genealogical Society of Salt Lake City, Utah in 1947. I received permission to post these to the internet by Kathy Warburton, the Copyright Coordinator with the Family and Church History Department of the The Genealogical Society of Utah, part of the Family and Church History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This transcription of the Evergreen Cemetery records is in the collection of their Family History Library in Salt Lake City. VAIL Charles Harold, b. 1894, d. 1895, s. of James M. and Gertrude A.
