Saturday morning by friends and neighbors. It was named for a
small creek nearby which is
called Alligator Creek. The cemetery is very old and one grave is
approximatly 96 years old. Once in the long ago, a church and
schoolhouse stood near the
cemetery. A cape jasmine bush in the cemetery is said to be about
59 years old.
The Davis Cemetery in the community also needs working and all
