Eli Stroud and the Eli Stroud Cemetery
Eli Stroud was born in 1789 in Jackson County, Georgia. As a young man, he and his first wife, Elizabeth Derbin, moved into Alabama Territory settling in present day Conecuh county. In 1818, he and his wife and children were returning home from Georgia and spent the night with Willam Ogle (Ogley) in Butler County, Alabama. At the time there was trouble among the Native Americans living in the vicinity. A massacre ensued at the Ogle home which the Strouds were barely able to escape. Unfortunately, Mrs. Stroud was severely injured and later died from her wounds. Their infant child, Thomas, was killed. Eli Stroud and the three other children survived.
Eli Stroud later returned to Georgia where he married Elizabeth East who died in 1829 and was buried beside the first wife and Thomas near Greenville, Alabama.
Settling later in Harris County, Georgia, Eli Stroud married his third and last wife, Eliza Perry. When East Alabama was opened officially for settlement, they moved to Russell (now Lee) county, near the site of the Eli Stroud cemetery.
The original Stroud home was located across the road from the cemetery. That house burnt and was rebuilt in the late 19th century and was destroyed again by fire in the late 20th century.
News accounts of the Ogle Massacre and Eli Stroud's near escape were published up and down the Eastern coast line in 1818.
The Eli Stroud cemetery includes immediate members of Eli Stroud's family as well as cousins and neighbors.
The following obituary appeared in the Columbus Daily Enquirer on February 22, 1871.
Died: At his residence in Lee County, Ala., on Tuesday morning, February 21st, Mr. ELI STROUD, aged 82 years. Mr. Stroud was a native of Georgia, but since 1834 has been a citizen of Russell (now Lee) County, being one of the earliest settlers, where he enjoyed the confidence and respect of all who knew him.
