EVERGREEN CEMETERY,
located on Aladdin Road north of Colville, Washington, has undergone
significant changes in appearance and functionality in recent months.
Brush has been removed from the fence line along the frontage road so
as to give the cemetery a more open look - both from the outside looking
in, and from the inside looking out.
A new sign board has
been erected to give identity to the cemetery. Burials have been
carefully indexed and then printed in alphabetical order, listing all
known persons interred at the cemetery. The new sign board has the
listings of burials identified by block number location. Block locations
have been identified with marker stakes. A map of the plots at the
cemetery is provided on the sign board - all this to make it easier to
find your ancestors who are buried here.
This pioneer cemetery
is the burial place of soldiers who have fought in the Civil War,
Spanish-American War, World War I, and World War II. The cemetery is
also the final resting place for many homesteaders and early
pioneers of the area.
Evergreen Cemetery is
open to the public year-round for descendants to locate their
ancestors. We encourage you to come and visit.
Care and maintenance of
the cemetery is provided by volunteer members of the Northeast
Washington Genealogical Society. A fund has been set up at Bank of
America to help with the upkeep and maintenance costs. Donations can be
made by making your check out to Evergreen Restoration Fund and mailing
to NeWGS, c/o Colville Public Library, 195 S. Oak, Colville, WA 99114.
