Fairview Cemetery - Kane Township


Fairview Cemetery is located at 308 Layfayette Avenue in Council Bluffs, Iowa. It has been called the" Old Burying Grounds." The cemetery has over 300 Morman gravesites which, most do not have markers. Before it was used for early settlers, many indians were buried in this cemetery. Many prominent names appear in this cemetery.


Kinsman Monument


The portals of Fairview are open wide;
Some guests enter with pomp and pride.
Others, Oh, God! How lowly;
A pauper ticket, admits them in,
Though the soul may be rich with no stain of sin.

Guests, they are all, each and every one;
From tottering age, to the babe of one sun.
Held close to rest in Mother earth’s breast,
Deeply and silently – God knoweth best.

There are hearths that are lonely and homes that are cold,
For the guests that Fairview holds deep in the mould.
There are hearts that tonight, sob with sorrow and sigh;
For the love light of home no longer is nigh.

Council Bluffs, December 20, 1886
