Evergreen Cemetery

 

        Evergreen Cemetery is located at 16140 Hwy. 128, in Knights Valley. It has also been known as the Pioneer, Holmes and Foote Cemetery. The graves were recorded on May 6, 2006, by Debra McCann.

        The cemetery was established in 1894 by Calvin and Elvira Holmes when their daughter Kate Holmes Foote died. The spot chosen for the cemetery was on the Foote Ranch about a mile from the Holmes mansion.

        Calvin H. Holmes married Elvira E. Huffman in 1854 in Collins Co., TX and they had three children, Kate H., William F., and Edward M. Holmes. In 1861, they settled in Knights Valley, where he built a mansion in 1878.
