My mother died in Hillsborough County in 1947. Not long ago, and just before he died, my father told me that she was buried in Crystal Lake Cemetery near his hometown of Frostproof. For the life of me, I cannot find any cemetery with this name. I'm beginning to think that with the passage of time, maybe the name of the cemetery has changed, or maybe my dad was simply confused. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.

Could not find a reference to the cementary in the historical trail, email the source and they might have more info.

Frostproof and Crystal Lake (the city) are in Polk County. I believe Frostproof is incorporated. Hillsborough County is to the west. Tampa is approximately 65miles from Frostproof. (in Hillsborough County) They have a cemetary named Lake Carroll Cemetery. Don't know if this is the one or if any of this helps but check the links below for cemetary names, and maybe family names. Good luck.

If you don't already have one, get a copy of her death certificate. The funeral home name and possibly the cemetery name will be on it.
