I will try. Let me get with my Aunts and Uncles who keep the cemetery for more information. I believe that is a different group of Lewallen's. Depending on who you talk to in the family it could be spelled Lewellen instead f Lewallen. Moses Alexander Lewallen (Lewellen) started a family cemetery on his farm in the Bottoms community about 9 miles northeast of Temple. His wife was Margaret Elizabeth Rainwater. Joseph Arthur married their daughter Fannie Lewallen. It is mostly used by family, but on occasion they have let close friends buried their folks there. For the longest not a blade of grass was allowed to grow there. Any grass or weed was quickly removed. As my mother and her siblings have gotten older they have planted grass there for easier upkeep and to minimize erosion. I am also a little worried about the risk to the cemetery by the Trans-corridor-highway being planned.

Isn't Lewallen Cemetery a different location? ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bell/cemetery/lewallen.txt Thanks! Joe D.

At one time I thought about doing this but my mother was adamemt about me not. I spent many a time growing up cleaning this cemetery. It was originally started by Moses Lewallen and was called the LEWALLEN cemetery for a long time. It has been in the Arthur family for the past three generations, and the name was changed to Arthur Cemetery when the 911 system changed the rural addressing. I know of one person who has been moved from the cemetery. Also I believe there are some unmarked graves on the far end of the cemetery. Joe
