The Greenmount Cemetery, a black cemetery, was located near the southern corner of Fairview Avenue and Seventh Street from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
In the 1920s, the hospital bought the land for an expansion. The hospital then relocated hundreds of graves to a new spot on the east side of the city, creating Fairview Cemetery on East Church Street (extended), which is now the largest black cemetery in the city.
When bones were found on the hospital grounds in 2001, they were thought to be left behind from Greenmount Cemetery. In February or March 2002, the hospital reinterred the bones at Fairview Cemetery.
