Evergreen is an old, abandoned and almost lost African-American cemetery located in far Northeast Titus County about 15 miles East of Talco on FM Highway 71 about one mile from the Morris County line. Without proper maintenance, it will soon be lost. It lies in the forks of County Road NE 48 (CR 3925) and the highway. Logans, Prices and other families are buried in this cemetery. There are at least thirteen unmarked graves visible. Eight native stones remain to mark some of the graves. One of these stones has the initials D. A. W. and E. G. W. scratched into them. There is only one monument in the cemetery for: Price, Mose born: March 3, 1853 died: March 12, 1920
