North Texas Ramblings Jesus with Cowboy Boots in Paris Texas The Evergreen Cemetery has served the area since the 1860s and is still used today. The cemetery is chocked full of statues and monuments to prominent (and not so prominent) area families. Gustave Klein, a German craftsman, sculpted many of the statues including the unique Babcock monument. Willet Babcock commissioned the statue in 1880 for $2500. And while many like Weird US mention the monument, no one is quite sure why Jesus is depicted wearing cowboy boots. Open daily from dawn to dusk, Evergreen Cemetery is located at 560 Evergreen Street.
