A
rural community of farming families once existed in this area. Known as
Evergreen, it was named for the numerous evergreen trees in the vicinity. A
small school and church building provided a gathering place for the community.
Land given for the school in 1879 by early settlers R.T. and Susan Lively also
became the site of a community graveyard. The earliest known burial to occur
here was that of Philip Pipkin (1817-1886). Others interned in the cemetery
include descendants of the Lively and other pioneer families.--Texas Atlas
