Welcome to Creswell CemeteryWelcome to Creswell CemeteryIn Eastaboga, Alabama
My name is James Carroll. My goal is to list the names of our relatives and others who are buried at Creswell Cemetery in Calhoun County, Alabama. It is not my intention for this page to be a family tree, even though some parts are beginning to look like it. If you have someone you would like to be listed here, or for corrections, email the information to me. There is no need to ask if I know any negative aspects about a person buried here; even if I knew I would not tell it. Likewise I don't want to hear any negative rumors about the people that I love. jamescarroll@cableone.net
Sermon on Mt. Graveyard Working Least of These Eye for Eye Forgiveness Foolish Confound Wise Rumours of War
At this point, I would like to express my gratitude to
Jesse J. Carroll Jr.; who is my chief advisor and helper on this project. Many thanks to all who have worked hard to keep this cemetery clean through the years. A special thanks to volunteers, Mr. Curtis L. Smith, an army sergeant, wounded in World War II, who cleaned the cemetery and kept the grass cut for a number of years, until his death; and to Little Rickey Carroll who is presently keeping the grass cut, and generally keeping the place looking good.Thanks to Jesse J. Carroll and his cousin Joe Carroll who, on Oct 11, 1926, purchased the cemetery from J. D. Spears for the sum of $25.00, and recorded it as a public cemetery. I have always heard that the purchase price was $25, but the deed indicates it was $15. Click here to see copy of

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. And if you come, when all the flowers are dying And I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me. And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me. I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
