Westlawn CemeteryPrairie Creek Twp Vigo County,Indiana Westlawn Cemetery is also known as 1st Prairie Creek Church Cemetery. Westlawn Cemetery is located west of State Road 63 and State Road 150, in the town of Prairie Creek, Indiana. This is not a large cemetery, but has many older stones along with recent burials. The condition of the grounds was good and minimal damage to headstones was noticed. The date of these photos are from summer 2006. Check the Vital Records pages of this website for obituaries of some of these persons. There are only less than a dozen Kester graves here, being mainly descended from John Kester and his brother William Kester Jr. Daniel Seymore Kester, son of Ephraim P., has a son's stone listed here (Arnold E. Kester), but I have yet to verify that he existed or was buried here, since the stone has no date of death. William Preston Kester and his daughter Lois Ellen are mentioned in the A. Decker Pound diaries written in the year 1878. The diary pages list him as "Press Kester", with this country doctor bringing "meds" for Lois, who passed at age 5.
