Fairview Cemetery Burials
Union Township

Llocated in southwestern Boone County, section 21, across the road from the Fairview Methodist Church.
The site, on a hill overlooking the Beaver Creek Valley, was selected by Hiram Mowrer,
the nineteen-year-old son of Peter Mowrer. Hiram had expressed a desire to be buried here, and he was in September 1858.
The cemetery was not established until 1877 when his father, Peter Mowrer, gave approximately two acres (which has now been enlarged)
of land for this purpose. The church was built September 4, 1887. Today the cemetery is maintained by the Union Township trustees.

There is another Fairview Cemetery located in Douglas Township in southeastern Boone County. These are two different cemeteries.

The following is a complete survey of burials completed in June 2011.
