CEMETERY: Samuel Ewalt Cemetery, Paris, Bourbon County, Kentucky From: Bob Francis http://www.shawhan.com Date: Mon, 07 Feb 2000 Samuel Ewalt Cemetery, Ewalt Crossroads, Paris-Cynthiana Turnpike Bourbon County, Kentucky The Samuel Ewalt family graveyard is located one-eighth mile east of the home on said farm, (refer to Ewalt History) and just east of the forks of the roads, and about 25 feet from the road, and about 25 feet above the road surface, on a natural elevation or hill. Their graves are enclosed in a lot about 11 feet square, surrounded by a solid stone wall three feet high, and two inches thick at the head and 18 inches thick at sides and foot, and laid with masonry of concrete and flint stone. There are two tablets inside this enclosure on marble 20 inches wide and two inches thick and about 30 or more inches high, with very pretty scroll tops. On one is the followling inscription "In memory of John Ewalt, Senior, who departed this life November 12, 1792, aged 85 years." On the other, "In memory of Sarah Ewalt, consort of John Ewalt, Senior, who departed this life January 10th 1809, aged 83 years." Each also have foot stones with just the initials. The remarkable thing about same is fact that the lettering is just as plain as though placed there very recently.
