    Hello,

    my name is Tim Harris. My Grandfather, Doctor Peter Martin, is buried here in this cemetery. Do you have information on where approximately within the cemetery he is buried? Any information you can provide will be most welcome.

      We don’t have any burial records as of yet so we only know of the graves whose markers we have uncovered. From the dates on Find A Grave, he probably is buried in the new section. It is about 10 acres in size and we have maybe a 20% cleared.

    I had never been in Evergreen Cemetary before today. I was appalled with its condition. So in researching I saw where you had attempted to help here. My hats off to you. I applaud you. And I maybe able to have some young adults who would help at East End. Actually I was wrong..I was at Woodlawn where Arthur Ashe is buried…

  12. I was so glad to see that you found my aunt Betty Stovall recently. I remember her death but never knew where she was buried. I was 14 years old in 1967. I do remember her remains were at Walter Manning Funeral Home. I finally found her on Find A Grave. THANK YOU!

    Hello.

    I was able to find my mother’s (Josephine Simms Tucker; date of death 12/20/1963; memorial ID 197962851) burial plate at East End Cemetery.

    Is this her actual burial plate that displays Erin Hathaway Palmer took the photo?

    If so, can you please send me the GPS of where it’s actually located in the cemetery so that we (her children) can possibly get a headstone for it.

    Thanks so much.
