ELISHA CREEL, farmer, Mandeville, Carroll Co., Ga., son of George and Harriet (Belcher) Creel, was born in Fayette county, Ga., in 1847. His maternal grandfather, William Belcher, was a Clayton county , Ga., pioneer and was a soldier in the war of 1812. Mr. Creel's father was born in what is now Monroe county, in 1816; but while yet a young man he removed to Fayette county, among its earliest settl ers, settled in the woods and cleared a farm. From -this small beginning he has become by hard work and economy, and careful management, one of the wealthiest men in the county. Mr. Creel was reared o n the farm and received but a limited education.
---In 1866, he-- married Mary Ann Miller-born in Campbell county-daughter of Jefferson and Eliza (Eidson) Miller, early settlers of Campbell county. Of thirteen children born to them these nine are li ving: George J., Joe, Wiley, Robert, Alice, Alvin, Hattie, Mary and Anna. Mr. Creel began life without a dollar and for some years had a very hard time. He moved to Carroll county in 1869 and in a fe w years began to prosper. He has now an excellent 750-acre farm, well improved, is recognized as one of the best farmers in the county, and is getting rich. He is another and a convincing example of w hat can be done in farming in Georgia when the farmer works intelligently, and works hard and early and late, saves a surplus and judiciously invests it. He commands the confidence and respect of al l who know him. Mrs. Creel is a member of the Baptist church.
