This project is for those buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Everett, Snohomish County, Washington.
From EPLS.org:
Platted in 1898, 100-acre Evergreen Cemetery has long been regarded as a local heritage resource of substantial value, not only as the final resting place of numerous prominent citizens, but also as a remarkable landscape comprised of century-old plantings and state champion trees.
50,000 men, women, and children are buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Their stories and lives are a vital part the colorful heritage and history of Everett. Of the thousands interred, Evergreen Cemetery counts a victim of the 1916 Everett Massacre and several victims of the 1910 Wellington Avalanche Disaster among its numbers. Of equal importance are the scores of regular citizens buried within—teachers, photographers, saloon owners, doctors, bankers—who made valuable contributions to the Everett community.
Also of interest are the burials of individuals who connect Everett to historic events on a national scale. Approximately 150 veterans of the American Civil War, four governors (from Washington, Minnesota, and the Dakota Territories), two United States Senators, and the great-great-great grandmother of President Barack Obama call Evergreen their final resting place.
