It was located about 5 miles south (I believe) on Cambell Avenue. My GGGRandfather was Lewis Allen Dicken Crenshaw (also known as L.A.D.Crenshaw, who was one of the founders of Springfield and he was also the President of Maple Park Cemetery in Springfield where a lot of the Crenshaw members are buried. Hope this information will help you in your search.
