Fairfield Cemetery Location and Driving Direction Map

 

 

     Even though the Fairfield Cemetery is not located within the Butler County boundaries, we choose to add its information to our book. Because of its location being so near New Hartford, because many of Butler Counties settlers are buried here, and because New Hartford citizens celebrate Memorial Day at the Fairfield Cemetery, we felt it indeed needs to be recorded. Twenty-two soldiers are buried in the Fairfield Cemetery.

     Land for a public burial ground in Section 5, of Fairfield Township was purchased by the Sherman School District in July, 1857, from Calvin and Mary Walker and jasper and Roxeyann Ingalls for $25.00.

     A Fairfield Cemetery Association was organized was organized in 1884, and in 1887 the school district directors deeded the ground to that organization. Nine years later in June of 1896, the old organization was withdrawn, and the power given to the Ladies' Fairfield Organization. The immediately installed two iron seats at $13.00 and hitching posts at $2.00.

     Reorganization took place in 1922, and that Fairfield Association served until March of 1960, when the deeds were turned over to the Trustees of the township.

     Fairfield Cemetery is located one-half mile south of the Beaver Township line in Fairfield Township, Grundy County, Iowa. The cemetery lies on the south side of the road. It is divided into north and south and each row is numbered from one to twenty-one. By using the "S" (south) and "N" (north) and the row number, you will be able to find a certain grave stone on the cemetery map.
