Evans Cemetery

This cemetery is located on Rt. 80 between the mouth of Oosley Creek and Bradshaw on the big curve above the football field. It is in very bad condition. It has been awhile since anyone has been buried there. I was there in 1993 with Joshua Harrison, who was looking for his Great-great Grandfather, Dr. John Crockett. This list does not cover all who are buried there. It was so overgrown with trees and brush that I know I didn't find all of the graves.
