History:  Hollen Cemetery is also referred to as Evergreen Cemetery in the WPA records. (The Evergreen Church is located one mile southeast of the cemetery.) 

In the fall of 1980, it was discovered that tombstones had been taken from Hollen and put in other cemeteries -- one found in Sweet Home Cemetery and one in Lillie Cemetery.  It is not known if others have been moved or not.  New fencing is on three sides of this cemetery; the south boundary along the road is open. There isn't a sign for this cemetery.
