Marker :
 According to local tradition this cemetery began when
 migrant W. P. Jones buried his wife, Delila, here in 1871,
 hoping to later bury her in an established graveyard nearby. 
Her burial nevertheless remains the cemetery's earliest on record.
 O. S. and Jane Bradfield deeded the cemetery land to the Fairview 
Baptist Church in 1883. Annual spring cleanups, which began in 
1909, have become a cherished tradition for descendants of persons
 buried here. Interred in this cemetery are pioneers, members of fraternal
 orders, and veterans of conflicts from the Civil War to Vietnam.
