  We discuss two families of closed orientable three-dimensional manifolds
which arise as cyclic generalizations of two hyperbolic icosahedral manifolds
listed by Everitt. Everitt's manifolds are cyclic coverings of the lens space
$L_{3,1}$ branched over some 2-component links. We present results on covering
properties, fundamental groups, and hyperbolic volumes of the manifolds
belonging to these families.
