Directions: This is what I believe is Lewis Cemetery near bridge over a creek, Paoli Township Section 15/T SN R 1E. This is on the land entered by John M. Lewis, there are several stones only marked by field stones. This cemetery is located in the southwest corner of Section 15/2N.R.1E of Paoli Township along CR 300E on the east side of road near where a bridge goes over a small creek and located about one mile north of Syria in Orange County. There are several field stones protruding up out of the ground, but I could not find any identifiable stones. This is an abandoned cemetery.
