HOUTS CEMETERY  (#21)

Once known as

BERRYMAN LEWIS CEMETERY

T25N R5E SEC 31

Map #6u

 

 

Originally a family burying ground, Houts eventually became a community burial place. It was a fairly large cemetery, but today you will find few markers standing. There is evidence of numerous graves with no markers, or graves marked only by field stone. As late as 1886 this was still referred to as the Lewis Cemetery.
