Big Barren Ripley County C - 11
Several unmarked, sunken graves
Taken from an original transcription by Daisy Andersen June 1997, from Findagrave and Becky Davis, as well as from death certificates.

NOTE: There appears to be some confusion on my part about the distinction between this cemetery and the Lewis (or Old Lewis) Cemetery, which is said to be located at Big Barren. Some death certificates indicate burials at one, but are on the list at the other. So until I can find some conclusive information about whether or not they are one-and-the-same or separate cemeteries, I am keeping them separate, but attached to one another. Please contact me if you have any pertinent information (location, directions, etc.)
