Evergreen Cemetery

Sunday, 06.07.2009, 10:06am (GMT-4)

It will likely be placed on the right side of the entrance and be visible from U.S. 27.

A group of Campbell County Democratic Party leaders - Paul Whalen and Linda Klembara and Linda Nesbitt of Cold Spring - are now trying to raise the money to pay for the marker.

"We hope to raise the funds so it will be installed and dedicated by mid-November," Whalen wrote in an e-mail. "Evergreen Cemetery, like Highland Cemetery in Fort Mitchell and Linden Grove in Covington, contain the graves of many Northern Kentuckians who had great stories," wrote Whalen, a history buff.

However, not as much is noted about the folks in Evergreen," he said. "So, with this marker, people will begin to realize that there are some people with stories that impacted our history local and national buried in Evergreen."

The members of Congress in the cemetery are:

Brent Spence, namesake of the Brent Spence Bridge.

John Wooleston Tibbatts, who championed Texas statehood.

Thomas Lauren Jones, a Newport lawyer who once challenged an opponent to a duel.

Albert S. Berry and John S. Berry. Berry Avenue in Bellevue was named for Albert Berry, who advised Williams Jennings Bryan in his 1896 presidential campaign. Bryan lost but carried Kentucky.
