Fairview Pioneer Cemetery was laid out by Joseph Gaston Garlick and was first used in 1860. The first buried there were three small children, Maria Terry, Henry Weeks Sanderson, Jr., and Lucy Jones. Later, John Givens, his wife Eliza, and their son and three small daughters were buried in the cemetery. The graves of Lauritz Jens Larsen, David Jones, and Thomas Jones, killed by Indians during the Black Hawk War, are also located there. The cemetery was originally rectangular, but in the late 1800s a flood from the west draw washed out several graves in the northeast section, causing burial to cease there. Many headstones, the oldest made of native limestone, mark the graves of mothers and their children who died of disease, childbirth complications, and accidents. Entire families were laid to rest there after spending their lives making the desert blossom as a rose, leaving an honorable legacy. Fairview, settled in 1859, was first named North Bend, and because of the scenery of the mountains to the east, blanketed with pines, aspens, and wild flowers in perfusion, the name was changed in 1864. During the Black Hawk War of the mid-1860s, some residents moved to nearby Mt. Pleasant for protection, while those who remained followed Brigham Young's instructions to build a fort, and by the end of 1866 a thick ten-foot-high rock wall enclosed the center of town.
