Black Oak Cemetery is located in Canelo, (Canille) Arizona, Santa Cruz County, Arizona,
Approximately 9 miles south of Elgin, Arizona
on Highway 83
In 1920 and 1930 Census Canelo was listed as Canille
In 1880 and 1900 it is listed under Elgin District.
It is said that we each have 3 deaths
The First when we die
The Second when we are laid to rest
And the Third when our name is never spoken again.
This is a partial listing of the headstones & burials
of people that lived or had lived in Canelo,
and surrounding areas including, Elgin & Sonoita
Many of these people I knew or my parents knew.
For some of the following people I have added the name
of the spouse and parents, also the place of birth
or death. I have found much of this information
on the Internet under Arizona Birth & Death records, Social Security Death Index, World War I draft registration, and
United States Census.
If you have information (or know someone who does)
about anyone buried in this cemetery. Please contact me!
My e-mail address is below
I am in the process of adding photos of people and their headstones.
