Joseph H. Lewis, the last commander of the Orphan Brigade, is buried just down the hill from Fort Williams. The Orphan Brigade was composed of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 9th Kentucky Infantry regiments along with two batteries of artillery, and these men fought with the Confederate Army of Tennessee throughout the war after leaving Kentucky in early 1862 and not returning until it was over. Lewis was born in Glasgow, was educated at Centre College in Danville, practiced law for a number of years, and entered politics, serving in the Kentucky legislature as a Whig from 1851-1855 before taking a more pronounced Southern stance and changing parties. He ran unsuccessfully as a Democrat for congress in 1857 and 1861, then after the war returned to Kentucky, resumed his legal practice, was elected to congress in 1870 and served two terms, was elected circuit judge in 1880, and served on the Kentucky court of appeals from 1882 to 1899, including service as chief justice in 1882, 1887 and 1897. Monuments for two of his sons, Jack and Asa, who also served in the Orphan Brigade, are nearby. Braxton Bragg executed Asa Lewis for desertion after he went home to plant the spring crops against orders, and although Asa returned to duty of his own free will, Bragg carried out the execution; Asa has a headstone in this cemetery, but the location of his body is unknown, while Jack's body is buried near that of his father.
