- Description:
- Bonaventure, centuries old, with its winding avenues, moss strewn evergreen trees, is one of the country's most beautiful burial grounds. About 1760 it was the home of Colonel John Mullryne, a militant Tory. 1847 the property was bought by Capt. Peter Wiltberger, who in 1892 formed the Ever Green Cemetery Company and in 1908 the City of Savannah bought the Cemetery, since doing much to beautify the place.
