[Email]Note: This headstone is for five members of the Raines family. The surname on the headstone is "Raines"; some sources have been found that used "Rains" for the surname, likely a phonetic mis-spelling.
Will use the "Raines" surname for these entries with that caution.

FATHER
John Alexander Raines
Nov. 9, 1835 - Dec. 23, 1914
(Note: a previous Evergreen transcription used Dec. 24, 1914 for the DOD. The death record on file in Jefferson county uses Dec. 23, 1914 for the DOD and noted that burial took place on Dec. 24, 1914. John was married first to Martha's sister, Maria; Oscar is of the first marriage.)
