The first burial in the Evergreen Cemetery was for the infant Julia Arcan. She was the child of Gold Rush pioneers who had crossed Death Valley.
Her mother, Abigail H. Miller, is credited by historians with having named Death Valley when the family encountered it on their way to California from New England.

Inscription
Daughter of J.B. and A.H. Arcan
A little time on earth she spent
Til God for her his Angel sent
And then on time she closed her eyes
To wake to glory in the skies
