Old Evergreen Cemetery
Surveyed by Don Austin, ca 1970GPS Coordinates: 321811N, 0940934W
Directions: From Carthage, go US Hwy 79 N to the caution light in Deberry, turn right on to State Hwy 31, go approximately one-fourth mile then turn to the left on to County Road 326. This Black Cemetery will be about one-fourth mile down CR 326, on the east side of a pipeline right-of-way.
Located adjacent to a pipeline right-of-way which cuts through a pine forest, on a gently-sloping ground near a creek,. It appears to have occupied a fairly large area, since the few graves that were identifiable were spaced anywhere from 25 to 75 feet apart. Several large oak trees, along with crepe myrtle trees, were found within the area indicating that the cemetery could have been much larger than now expected and making it hard to estimate how many graves could be there. It is estimated that perhaps 40-50 graves could have been here. A barbed wire fence bound the cemetery on one side only, with no evidence of a fence on any other side. This is the forerunner of the present day Evergreen Cemetery located just east of Deberry and approximately one-half mile north of this location. It is said that burials occurred here up until the late 1930's or early 1940's.
