BAYLESS CEMETERY
LOCATION: Section 30-2-2E - N/2 NW NW - Behind barn on west side of Winchester Pike approximately at the Winchester Pike and County Lake Road intersection.
Note: When I copied this cemetery this farm was owned and occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Harry K. Lawler (born 1885). Even though Mr. Lawler was elderly he was spry and his mind was as alert as a youngster's. He was well acquainted with the history of the community, with his farm, and the people buried in the cemetery behind his barn (the Bayless Cemetery). Mr. Lawler was able to supply some information on some of the people buried here and I have included that information.
