Going west on Ohio Rt. 78 from Lewisville, Ohio, this old cemetery is located on the right hand side, across a small creek that runs along side Ohio Rt. 78. Measured from the cross-roads of Rt. 145 and Rt. 78 in Lewisville, Wise Cemetery is 2.2 miles going west along Rt. 78. A landmark along the way is a house and barn on the left side of the road, almost directly across from the Wise Cemetery. The barn is painted with the “Mail Pouch Tobacco” on one end.
