About Evergreen Cemetery
In February of 1856, Evergreen Cemetery received its first burial from the newly named community of Gainesville, Florida—the infant daughter of cotton merchant James Tilatha Thomas and his wife Elizabeth Jane Hall Thomas. Eight months later, Elizabeth was buried in the same grave as their daughter. The cemetery has grown from this initial family plot into a historic, city-operated resting place that preserves Gainesville's history and stories through its serene grounds and burial records, now accessible through digital tools including an interactive virtual cemetery and burial search portal.
