Lewisville Cemetery Burial Permits

 

   The Lewisville cemetery located on the south edge of town, about two blocks south of the National Road, was established on 20 Mar 1837 when William D. Westerfield donated land to the village of Lewisville for use as a cemetery. Legend has it that there were burials here as early as 1833, when travelers on their way west along the Cumberland or National Road (US #40) Had a death in their family and looking for a place to bury their dead was offered a spot on the farm of a local land owner who let travelers use his pasture and residence as a stop along the Cumberland Road to refresh their horses and rest up for the long journey ahead of them. Being on the National Road, we can be sure that there were many burials of travelers that died in or near the town of Lewisville. When the railroads came through the county in the 1850s, there were many foreign construction workers, Swedish, German and others that traveled with the railroads as it wound its way west, who were also probably buried in the cemetery.
   This is a list of all the burial permits that have been issued for burials in the Lewisville cemetery since the late 1930s. Mr. Tom Saunders, cemetery trustee, made these permits available to HCGS for our use in a database for the website. These burial permits are very important to genealogists in knowing who is buried in the cemetery, because quite a few of the burials in here do not have grave markers. The early burial permits usually list cause of death, but more important all of them list a place of death, city, county and State. This is important for locating the death record/certificate of the person, which gives family information on the individuals.
   Today the cemetery is maintained by the town of Lewisville, with Rep. Thomas Saunders as the overseer of the cemetery.
