STONE AT ENTRANCE OF CEMETERY. COMPILER HAS NOT FOUND ANYONE WHO KNOWS SITE OF GRAVE. Eva Lee and Dovie were daughters of William Leroy McCarver and Annie (Widner) McCarver. In 1920, William and Annie had six children, Ethel, born about 1906, Rosa, born about 1909, James, born about 1911, Estelle, born about 1914, Lillian, born about 1916, and Eva Lee, born 1920. There is a confusion about Eva's records. At the time of Eva's death she was planning to marry Frank Wilson Long. On Jan. 6, 1920, she was said to be 11 months old. On her license for marriage she said she was born Jan. 22, 1920. The license is dated Jan. 6, 1941. The obituary was in the Huntsville Times, Jan. 15, 1941, but the tombstone says she was born Dec. 10, 1920, and her death was given as Dec. 30, 1940. The stone has been moved away from her grave and is near the entrance of the cemetery (1997) but compiler can not find anyone who knows where the grave is located. She was the youngest daughter of Will and Annie Lee (Widner) McCarver. James Turk McCarver of Jackson Co., Alabama was the father of Will, James McCarver and Ada (McCarver) Davis. James L. McCarver died April 22, 1937, at the age of 41. He had been ill for a long time. He was buried in Merrimack Cemetery. When his wife Cythia (Justice) McCarver died Apr. 13, 1954, there was no room for her grave in Merrimack so she was buried in Maple Hill and James was moved to Maple Hill beside her. His removal left room for ’Dovie, daughter of Will and Annie (Widner) McCarver, when she died. Please see entry for Mary Elizabeth Matthewson. Sources: Luke McCarver. George McCarver.
