EVERGREEN
CEMETERY
Ocean Springs
LOCATION: SE/4, SW/4, of NE/4 of Section 19, T7S-R8W on the
south shore of Fort Bayou in the corporate limits of Ocean Springs.
DIRECTIONS: From the intersection of Bienville Boulevard (US 90)
and Washington Avenue at Ocean Springs, go north on Washington
Avenue .09 miles, or about two blocks to Iberville Avenue. Turn
right (east) at Iberville and go .25 miles to Sunset which is
immediately left (north) inside of the sharp curve. On Sunset,
proceed .15 miles northeast to the historic and scenic Evergreen
Cemetery on Fort Bayou.
HISTORY: The history of the Evergreen Cemetery in many ways
reflects the religious and racial relations of the city of Ocean
Springs. These relations have been characterized by tolerance,
respect, and harmony through the decades. Protestant and Roman
Catholic, Black and White have lived, worked, and died together in
this small community. They are also buried together at Evergreen, a
six-acre memorial park, featuring a tranquil, cedar and oak covered
knoll, which is befitting the cliché "Resting in Peace".
C.E. Schmidt (1904-1988) in Ocean Springs French Beachhead (1972)
states, "the origin of Evergreen is not clear. County records
show that it is part of land granted by patent to David Kerr and
consigned to Philip P. Bowen on October 2, 1854." On October 19,
1900, Enoch N. Ramsay (1832-1916), County Surveyor, and George W.
Davis (1842- 1914), Ocean Springs merchant and State Legislator,
appeared before Justice of the Peace, Thomas W. Grayson (1825-1904),
and swore under oath that the ground for the Evergreen Cemetery was
given to the Town of Ocean Springs by P.P. Bowen circa 1860.
Additionally, they said that the land had always been used as a
cemetery and in undisputed possession of the town.
When Philip P. Bowen (1799-1871) gave his land to establish the
original public cemetery in the 1850s, Ocean Springs was a village
centered about Jackson Avenue. These were the "Steamboat Days". At
this time, it was common for people to bury their dead in family
plots near their home. The Bellande (LaFontaine) Cemetery on Dewey
Avenue developed in this manner. Evergreen is unique in that it was
the first public cemetery dedicated as such. Bowen was a traveling
minister who came to Mississippi via South Carolina. He was Elder
of the Tidewater Baptist Church at Davis Bayou from 1847 to 1859.
Pioneer, preacher Bowen discovered the mineral springs near the
present Fort Bayou Bridge. He capitalized on the medicinal
qualities of the water by building baths for both sexes at the site
of the springs.
Anecdotal history relates that a Sullivan was the first person to
be buried in the new cemetery. The 1850 US Census for Jackson County
has a New York born seaman named Daniel Sullivan (b. 1784) residing
at Ocean Springs. The oldest surviving tombstone is that of I.D.
Fuller, Jr. dated 1854. Some of the earlier families buried at
Evergreen are Brad-ford, Davis, and Madsen.
In 1884, Francis Janssens, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Natchez,
bought a lot from Miss Eliza Ames (1845-1917) south of the Evergreen
Cemetery. This lots was described as:
A lot in the Ames Tract 190 feet by 140 feet wide. Starting
from a point 140 feet South of the cemetery fence opposite the
graves of the Ames Family, thence running North 140 feet up to said
fence, thence east along said fence 190 feet, thence South 140 feet,
thence West to the point of beginning and is bounded as follows: On
the North by the Public Cemetery (Evergreen), on the South by the
Ames property and a coulee plated roadway 30 feet wide, more or
less, East by the Ames property, and on the West by
the same Ames property.(Jackson County Deed Book 7, pp.
415-416.)
This cemetery lot became known as the St. Alphonsus Cemetery or
"Catholic Cemetery", and became the site for many
Catholic burials at Ocean Springs. Eliza Ames who sold the land to
the Catholic Church was the daughter of John Ames (1797-1852+) and
Helen or Ellen Ames (1814-1874), both Irish immigrants. John Ames
received a patent from the US Government on 120 acres of land in the
SE/4 of Section 19 T7S-R8W in 1847 and 1848. Here the Ames
homesteaded and reared four children: Thomas Ames (1843- 1906)),
Elizabeth Ames (1845-1917), William Ames (1848-1922), and Jeremiah
Ames (1852-pre 1922).
Louisa B. Bartlett of New Orleans and the Village Improvement
Association built a fence in 1878.(The Pascagoula Democrat-Star,
)
Although John Ames died relatively young, his family made an
indelible mark on the history of Ocean Springs during the yellow
fever epidemic of October 1878. When the dreaded "Yellow Jack"
struck the Mississippi coast, initially at Ocean Springs, Miss Eliza
Ames and her brothers led a small cadre of workers who nursed the
sick and buried the dead. They worked day and night through the
ordeal without remuneration or hope of reward. Miss Eliza Ames was
known throughout her life for works of charity. The kind nature of
this woman manifested itself in the pittance of money she asked when
vending her land to the Catholic Church for only $25 in 1884.
By 1889, the Town of Ocean Springs needed more land for the public
cemetery. There was no land to the north, west, or east because of
Fort Bayou and the surrounding marsh, which creates a peninsula of
the cemetery. The only recourse was to the south and the Ames
lands. On October 31, 1898, Miss Eliza Ames sold the Town of Ocean
Springs for $12 the following:
A strip of ground on Old Fort Bayou in the Town of Ocean
Springs commencing 6 feet due north of a stump which marks and
designates the northwest corner of the Protestant part of the Ocean
Springs Cemetery, thence running south a distance of 420 feet,
thence west a distance of 80 feet, thence west of north a distance
of 152 feet to the northeast corner of Garrard land, thence due west
from said corner a distance of 12 feet, thence north a distance of
268 feet and thence east and a distance of 92 feet to the point of
beginning.(Jackson County Deed Book 34, pp. 463-464.)
The Ocean Springs Cemetery Association was formed in September
1898. Mrs. H.S. Hyatt, was president and Mrs. J.J. Garrard
(1839-1907), secretary. At this time, Lodge No. 23, The Knights of
Honor, a black fraternal? Organization, also contributed to the
improvement of the public cemetery The first Cemetery Board at Ocean
Springs was formed during the administration of "The Yankee Mayor",
F.M. Weed (1850-1926), between 1899-1910. The board consisted of:
George W. Davis, Joseph Kotzum, and A. Switzer. Unfortunately, the
Ocean Springs Cemetery Board was abolished in 1991. Today, there is
a dire need for more citizen participation in the care and
maintenance of our family and public cemeteries.
Cemetery Maps
In late July 1899, Fred Hess of Pascagoula, presented his survey and
plan of the Evergreen Cemetery to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen at
its regular meeting. At this time, the Reverend Oren Switzer,
George W. Davis, and D.W. Halstead were the cemetery committee. The
plan of Mr. Hess segregated black and white burial areas; provided
for free space in both sections; and set aside a new section where
lots would be sold to create a permanent cemetery.(The Pascagoula
Democrat-Star, August 4, 1899, p. 3)
A new map of the Evergreen Cemetery was drawn by Professor Quilla D.
Sauls (1870-1909+) of the Ocean Springs Public School. It was
accepted by the town board at their October 3, 1899 meeting.(The
Pascagoula Democrat-Star, October 13, 1899, p. 3)
County Surveyor, E.N. Ramsay, surveyed the cemetery in October
1900.(Jackson County Chancery Clerk's Office, Plat Book 1, p. 9)
In the summer of 1928, Franklyn H. McGowen (1894-1985), a civil
engineer, was to supervise another plotting of the cemetery.(The
Daily Herald, June 26, 1928, p. 12)
Moran and Seymour, civil engineers of Biloxi, were hired in 1990?,
to map the Evergreen Cemetery.
Public Opinion
A thought provoking and timely letter for each generation, titled, "Nevergreen
Cemetery", by Anton P. Kotzum (1871-1916) was published in The
Ocean Springs News of October 7, 1915. It reads as
follows:
The last resting place of the fathers and mothers of the
citizens of Ocean Springs is in a deplorable condition. Weeds and
thistles are rank and noxious vegetation has entirely overrun the
place. What is needed is a caretaker; one could be had for $30.00 a
month. Are there not thirty men in Ocean Springs who will obligate
themselves to subscribe $1.00 each per month? To the end that the
last earthly tenement of those whose labors and privations whose
struggles with nature an adverse conditions have resulted in giving
us their children the pleasantest, most beautiful location in which
to spend our lives? The men and women lying in Evergreen cemetery
are our own fathers and mothers, to them we owe our existence, to
them we are indebted for our education, our rearing and to the fact
that we are enjoying the sweetness of life. Many of them endured
the rigors and hardships of war, the mothers endured their agonies
and the fathers shouldered their cares and responsibilities, and
they loved us, their children, more than life. Now that their
labors are ended, cannot we display sufficient gratitude for all
they have done to see that their last surroundings are at least kept
clean and wholesome? Let us pause in our mad commercial career and
reflect that one day, we too, shall be laid at rest in Evergreen,
and it surely must be more consoling to think that we will be placed
in a decently kept perhaps rose or flowered-bower, than the
thought that some hardy pioneer will first have to clear a place for
us in a veritable jungle. Let us arouse out of the careless
lethargic custom of the village, and adopt methods more keeping with
progressive America.
Give it a trial for six months anyhow, and the prediction is made
that after viewing the benefits that six months care will give,
Evergreen cemetery will never again fall into such a condition as it
is today. Who are the thirty men?
Very truly, A.P. KOTZUM.
The plea of Mr. Kotzum must have been effective, but by October
1921, the memory of his letter must have been a dim remembrance. At
this time, The Jackson County Times, successor to The Ocean
Springs News, placed an urgent notice to the members of the
Cemetery Association to pay their dues. There was no money to pay
the men who were working on the cemetery!
By 1922, Miss Eliza Ames had passed on, and her nephew, Theodore
Ames (1876-1927), controlled what remained of the Ames family lands
in Section 19, T7S-R8W. In January of that year, Mr. Ames granted
the St. Alphonsus Catholic Church a 30- foot wide strip of land
running east from Cemetery Road through the northern portion of the
Ames Tract to the Cemetery gate for the purpose of a road to enter
the cemetery. Theodore Ames was a livery stable operator and
Director of the Ocean Springs Brass Band in the early 1900s. His
widow, Carrie Seymour (1899-1975), would live into modern times and
be a true character of the City. She resided on Calhoun at
"Carrie's Happy Hill", now the Queen Anne Cottage of Harriette
Perry.
1928 Reorganization
In late June 1928, the Evergreen Cemetery
Association was reorganized. Dr. Anton H. Hrabe (1881-1943) was
president with Josephine Friar as secretary. Louise A. Friar Davis
(1874-1952), the spouse of Elias S. Davis (1859-1925) and Lenora
Zabel Scharr (1881-1962), the wife of Joseph U. Scharr (1874-1954),
were named as cemetery supervisors. Beautification of the burial
ground was placed in the care of Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Scharr. From
proceeds obtained from the sales of burial plots, they acquired
trees, plants, and shrubs to landscape their cemetery.(The Daily
Herald, June 26, 1928, p. 12)
More
Land
Additional acreage was added to the Catholic Cemetery in May 1931,
when the Catholic Diocese of Natchez purchased some land from Judge
O.D. Davidson (1872-1938). This transaction is recorded in Jackson
County Land Deed Book 101, p. 51 as follows:
Commencing at the northeast corner of the Ames Tract where same
intersects Cemetery Road and Evergreen Cemetery, running south on
the west side of said road to the northeast corner of the W. Cooper
property, thence northwest to the margin of the marsh, thence
northward along said marsh to Evergreen Cemetery, thence eastward on
the south side of Evergreen Cemetery to the point of beginning.
In 1946, C.E. Schmidt (1904-1988) became the manager of the Catholic
or St. Alphonsus Cemetery. A survey of the Catholic Cemetery was
completed, and gravesites were sold to the general public regardless
of creed for $5.00 per grave. In 1955, and 1957 vacant land to the
east, south, and west were purchased and subsequently reclaimed to
provide almost five hundred gravesites. These lands were provided
to the Catholic Diocese of Natchez from Mrs. Carrie Johnson Garrard
Everhart (1886-1968) and James F. Garrard (1906-1955+) in 1955, and
Iola Y. Davidson (1883-1963) in 1957.
Management of the City Cemetery was historically done on a volunteer
basis. According to C.E. Schmidt after the last volunteer cemetery
agent had died in the early 1950s, the Board of Aldermen gave the
task to Police Chief, Wylie Broome (1903-1971). Broome had no maps
to work from, and record keeping was nil to poor. The City Cemetery
service ended with the death of Chief Broome in late 1970. In
December 1970, a committee to reorganize the City Cemetery was
formed through the joint effort of the local Ministerial Union and
the City Council. Because of his experience at the Church Cemetery,
C.E. Schmidt was appointed to organize the City Cemetery. Schmidt
went quickly to work and had vacant areas surveyed and mapped.
Application and deed
forms
were printed. The price of a gravesite was set at $25 with the
money raised to be used for the purpose of extending the Cemetery.
In an effort to sell gravesites, the following advertisement was run
in The Ocean Springs Record during the month of February 1971:
EVERGREEN CEMETERY
A service of the City of
Ocean Springs since 1854
Moderately priced burial lots on a beautiful wood knoll
overlooking Fort Bayou. Grave sites at $25 can be combined
to form distinctive family burial plots.
By 1974, one hundred twenty-eight gravesites had been sold which
exhausted the supply of good land. The remaining gravesites were
near the marsh or very low on the slope of the land. Fortunately
for the City of Ocean Springs, the Catholic Church in Mississippi
wanted to get out of the cemetery business. On December 12, 1974,
the Catholic Diocese of Natchez-Jackson sold the following property
to the City of Ocean Springs being located and situated in Section
19, Township 7 South, Range 8 West, in the City of Ocean Springs,
Jackson County, Mississippi, and more particularly described as
follows, to-wit:
That certain cemetery or burial grounds described as: start at
the southeast corner of the concrete coping around the Eley lot,
which corner is on the South boundary of the City Cemetery, and then
go West five feet to a point of beginning. Then South across a
cemetery road and along the east side of grave lots owned by Mangin,
Kittle, and Huber 96 feet to a corner; then west 20 feet to a
corner; then south 38 feet to a corner; then West along the South
side of grave lots owned by Roberts, Adams, Ramon, and Dart 62 feet
to a corner; then South along East side of lots owned by Young and
Hutchinson 44 feet to a corner; then West 20 feet to the Northeast
corner of the Holloway lot; then 99 feet to the North side of the
Ramsay grave lot; then east 22 feet to the Northeast corner of the
Holt lot; then 27 feet along the East side of the Holt lot to a
corner; then easterly along the North side of the wooded lot owned
by the Davidson estate 232 feet to the edge of the marsh; then
Northerly along the edge of the marsh 300 feet to the South boundary
of the City Cemetery; then West along the South boundary of the City
Cemetery 130 feet to the point of beginning.
and
Start at the Southwest corner of the concrete coping around
the Noel lot, which corner is on the South boundary of the City
Cemetery, and then go due west two feet to a point of beginning.
Then South along the west side of grave lots owned by Mathieu, Moran
and Bridges 55 feet to a corner; then East 14 feet to a corner; then
South along the west side of grave lots owned by Necaise, Sinkhorn,
and Blossman 60 feet to a corner; then East 26 feet to the West
side of Sunset Road; then along the West side of Sunset Road 196
feet to the North boundary of the Fulton property; then North 42
degrees West along this boundary 90 feet to the edge of the marsh;
then along the edge of the marsh Northerly to the South boundary of
the City Cemetery; then due east along this boundary 85 feet to the
point of beginning.(Jackson County Deed Book 520, p. 580.)
Recently all cemetery lots in the Evergreen Cemetery have been
sold. The City of Ocean Springs is no longer in the cemetery
business, and considers the lots private property to be maintained
by the individual owners.
