Everson Family Cemetery
This cemetery is most easily reached by coming from Brilliant, Ohio, up Salt Run Road about a mile to the Salt Run School and then go 300 feet to a very, very, steep knob on which the cemetery is located. Mr. Everson told us that a pallbearer carrying a casket up the steep knob had a heart attack and was the next one buried there. Mr. Everson had this cemetery in immaculate shape on our April 14, 1973 visit. It was enclosed with a white plank fence with the planks nailed upright to stringers. All graves were marked except some were marked with concrete crosses, blocks and bricks.
These burials were identified by Mr. Everson and are the ones without regular stones. The records in the bible given to George W. Everson by his mother on Dec. 25, 1893, shows Elizabeth died Sept. 22, 1907 in her 78th year. In the extreme northwest corner of the enclosure were three bricks that marked the Parson baby’s grave. Mr. Everson said his father, John J. Everson allowed his friends, the Parsons of Brilliant, Ohio to bury the new born baby here during the depression of the 1930’s.
