Azle, Texas
Ash Creek Cemetery
The oldest known graves in this community burial ground are those of Dave Morrison (1849-1874) & W P Gregg (1833-1874). Dr. James Azle Stewart, for whom Azle is named, & John Giles Reynolds, early grist mill operator, each donated an acre of land to establish the cemetery. Both Stewart & Reynolds are buried here. The Azle Cemetery Association was organized in 1922 to care for the site and to keep burial records. The Association bought additional land in 1932, 1947 and 1959 & constructed a tabernacle on the grounds. There are over 2000 graves in Ash Creek Cemetery.
