Fairview Cemetery was established in 1865. The first burial was Marion Bancroft, who passed away in 1855 but was moved to Fairview in 1865. The cemetery began on the outskirts of town. Cedar Falls later expanded and filled in between the downtown and UNI, so today the cemetery is surrounded by homes and is centrally located.
As you walk through Fairview, you will notice many names that are well known in our community's history, including Melendy, Seerley, Hearst, and others. An obelisk marks the burial location of residents of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, many of whom died in a measles epidemic. There is also a lot for Western Home residents, many of whom died in the 1920s and 1930s. The Dayton family mausoleum is the only mausoleum located in Fairview.
