CRESTVIEW CEMETERY
(Parts 5-6)

Compiled and contributed by David Donahue 

            Crestview Cemetery is the largest black cemetery in Knox County. It was established as a perpetual care cemetery in the 1920s. It seems like this was a really nice cemetery from its founding into the 1960s. But its perpetual care fund was grossly underfunded, and the cemetery fell onto hard times. By the 1970s large parts of the cemetery seem to have had come under the control of a local black funeral home which buried massive numbers of people here, apparently without making contributions to the perpetual care fund. In the worst areas in the eastern section of the cemetery it was just pile of dirt, sunken grave, pile of dirt, sunken grave, one after the other, with no attempt even to restore a flat surface. When the last cemetery manager died, all maintenance ceased. In 1990 most of the cemetery except "the Circle" was overgrown. There was a public outcry and investigation into the conditions of the cemetery in the mid-1990s. [The perpetual care fund actually was intact but only had $10,000.] Prison/jail labor was used to clear the cemetery beginning about 1995 or 1996.

Part 5, Center West Loop

          The burials in this small section of Crestview Cemetery took place in the 1940s and early 1950s, and most burials seem to have received permanent markers. Because of the small space and high percentage of marked burials, this section was not ravaged in the 1970s and 1980s as most of Crestview Cemetery was turned into a potter's field. Recorded, April 29, 1990. Checked and updated January 25, 1995. Note that both visits to this section took place before jail labor cleared the cemetery; there could be more marker burials here.
