LEWIS CEMETERY

 

Located at the edge of Butler and Warren Counties on Route 1083, this old cemetery contains 19 graves with engraved stones and several graves marked by field stones. To reach the cemetery, drive to the Butler/Warren County line on route 1083.  About ½ mile into Warren County is a small cemetery on the North side of 1083 which is visible from route 1083.   Straight through the pasture about ¼ mile behind that small cemetery is the Lewis Cemetery. 

 

Lewis Cemetery is quite old and is partially protected by fencing.  There is one small wrought-iron section which is adjacent to Lewis but separate from it.  It appears to be the Dial family plot.  That plot contains one readable stone, that of William Dial.  There are foot markers for ED and WD.  From Belle Muth’s earlier record, the ED would be that of Elizabeth Dial.
