There is a new book, recently published, that I need to tell you all
about. If you have relatives, ancestors, or research connections in St.
Paris' Evergreen Cemetery, or just want to know everything about that
cemetery's history....you need this book. We've all seen printed facts in
book form before on cemeteries. This reference volume will blow you away.
It is simply unlike any reference volume currently on your shelf.

"Evergreen Cemetery - St. Paris, Ohio 1877-2002" by Rick Burnside.

This book is, without exception, the most outstanding reference work I
have ever seen on a single cemetery in a single town. It is 165 pages in
length, and includes the following sections: The Beginning, Through The
Years, Administration & Sextons, Symbolism (What the cemetery tombstone
designs "mean" with included photographs), Stories of Interest, Veterans,
Interments. All in a single reference volume. With extensive photography
and description.

The photography was done by Barb Weinert. The historical significance of
tombstone symbolism was done by Barbara Stickley Sour. The research was
compiled by Rick Burnside, who is the Sexton of Evergreen Cemetery.

The volume sells for $40.00. It is easily worth
$85.00-$100.00......easily. All proceeds go towards the "Main Street -
St. Paris" project, which is the committee dedicated to the restoration
of downtown St. Paris. (No...I am not a paid spokesman for the group nor
do I belong to the committee. I just have a keen eye for quality, and a
love for that little Village that is the only St. Paris known to exist in
the United States.)

The reason I'm so excited about this book is because I've never seen
anything like it anywhere...from anyone.

If you are interested in ordering, send a check for $40.00 to:
