Fairview Methodist Cemetery


View facing North	View facing South

If you have access to any cemetery listings or tombstone photographs from Sunflower County,
and you are willing to share them with your fellow researchers,
please let me know. I would like to have listings and photos for all of the cemeteries in the county. Suggested corrections and/or additions will be noted in RED. The original data will not be removed. Do you know of others buried here? Let me know and I will post their names and data.

The Fairview Methodist Church Cemetery is located on the east side of the Fairview-Heathman Road
in the fairview community approximately five miles north of Highway 82 at Heathman.
A Methodist Church once stood beside the cemetery. The present owner of the land clips the grass,
but cane obscures several stones at the back of the cemetery. (Inscriptions were copied in 1986 by Marion Glenn Johnson and Jayne Williams Johnson.) Index provided by Robbie Fulgham & Sharon Grissette unless otherwise noted. Click on blue names to see photos of the tombstones. Photos were scanned by my wonderful husband, James Schneider and contributed by Robbie Fulgham and others. Our thanks to all of them. Please us the "Find" option on your browser as they are not listed in any particular order. Just added as contributed.
