My Ocean Springs: 2007 in Pictures

Barbara Haviland visits one of many family markers in beautiful, historic Evergreen Cemetery, including one of her in-laws who fought in the Civil War. Many of Ocean Springs’ well-known citizens are buried at Evergreen, located at the end of Sunset Drive overlooking Fort Bayou. The oldest marker in Evergreen is dated 1854, and though the specific origin of the cemetery is unclear, it carries the distinction of being the first public cemetery dedicated in Ocean Springs.
