Mr. Creecy, whose family came from Louisiana, was appointed to the Naval Academy by President Lincoln in 1863. He presented a letter of recommendation that had been signed by Jefferson Davis. Mr. Lincoln smiled and said the Navy needed more men from that part of the country.
NOTE: Mr. Creecy’s son, Richard B. Creecy, Lieutenant Colonel, United States Marine Corps, killed his wife with a hatchet in 1930 in a Washington, D.C. hotel. He then committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. The Colonel is buried nearby in Arlington National Cemetery.
