LEWIE CHAPEL (OLD GILBERT METHODIST CHURCH)
Lewie Chapel, a Methodist church founded on this site in the 1870s by Solomon R. Lewie (1835-1878) and others, was later known as Lewiedale Methodist Church and after 1910 as Gilbert Methodist Church. The original sanctuary, replaced in 1960 by a new sanctuary about 1 mile west, burned in the early 1970's.

THE LEWIE FAMILY
(continues from other side)
The town of Gilbert, also known as Gilbert Hollow was called Lewiedale from 1866 to 1899 after the family of Samuel (1802-1865) and Nancy Hendrix Lewie (1807-1865). Four of six Lewie sons saw Confederate service in the 15th S.C. Infantry, with Frederick S.(1831-1873) as its lieutenant colonel and James H. (1838-1889) as a captain. Several family members are buried here.
