February 9, 1833
December 31, 1920
daughter of Joseph Dell Churchill and Lucretia Bland Bocock (a widow)
Lewvina was the second wife of Meredith "Crawford" McAlister and with him had 2 children.
Lewvina's first husband was possibly a Jeff Garner.
She is buried next to her Brother's wife, Martha A Churchill, per her request. Her second Husband M Crawford McAlister is buried in a remote section near Welcome Home, Arkansas, a spot he picked out before his death and known as the McAlister Cemetery. A infant lies near him
(Obviously, Lewvina died before her sister-in-law Martha but knew where Martha would be buried because James, Lewvina's brother, died in 1910. Thus Martha's final resting place was clear and Lewvina could state she wished to be buried next to Martha or where Martha would eventually be interred.)
