Description	The headstone of Gadsden T. Thigpen, who died in 1850, is the first grave in the Evergreen Cemetery in Ocala. Thigpen was an unknown man who died on an Ocala street and was buried just after a 4 acre public burial ground was set aside by the city. Thigpen's first name was unknown until this photograph was examined in 1964 and as a result the headstone was rededicated. Note: The letters on the headstone in this photograph have been inked in on the print.
