Contributed by Beth Gillis, Apr 25, 2005 [rbgillis@ruraltel.net].  Total records = 121.

To reach cemetery drive south out of Portis on Hwy 281 for about 1/4 mi, then turn right or west and continue for about 6mi. The cemetery will be on the south side of the road.

This cemetery was started by the Lawrence Creek Church, in the 1870s according to the stones. The church no longer exists. At some point the cemetery was turned over to the Township, who is responsible for the maintainence.

The Lawrence Creek cemetery is not very well maintained at present. It has not been mowed at all and had a lot of holes all over in it, which could mean there are many unmarked burial sites.

I walked and read this cemetery in April of 2005.
