| History: Clemuel and Eliza Creveling came to Decatur County (Section 6) in 1853. The name of the cemetery was from this family's land. Other than family burials the other burials seem to have been neighbors. The cemetery cannot be seen from the road; about half a mile to the west; enter through farm house driveway. Large and well cared for. Some attempt has been made to replace broken stones in correct order. | |
