From the June 8, 2016, Clarion (Indiana) News "Daughters Dedicate Pvt. Crecelius' grave."
The dedication took place in the Mt. Eden Cemetery, Eckerly, Indiana. This was the Daughters of the War of 1812 local unit's 13th grave dedication.
As I mentioned yesterday, Philip Creclius had 17 children and a lot of his descendants were able to attend the ceremony.
One of them was David Myers, his great-great grandson who is a member of the Alabama Society of the War of 1812. Nine other direct descendants were also in attendance. Two of them are active in the Johnathan Jennings Chapter Daughters of the War of 1812: Evelyn Jackson and Edith Key.
