History:
From "History of DeKalb County Cemeteries" by Dorothy A. Ditmars, April 18, 1924.

A few years after the Civil War and after the Old Auburn Cemetery was well begun, "Evergreen" was laid out by W. W. Griswold.
Mrs. L. C. Ford, present Justice of Peace, states that it was very beautiful, and was laid out in lots and driveways. Many people were removed from the Old Auburn Cemetery to this one. It is surrounded by an iron fence and contains many a costly monument.
