The following information provided by FAG volunteer, [email protected], Sept. 2013: "Fairview Park was abandoned shortly after the turn of the 1900's. Graves were relocated, some to Rose Hill Cemetery and some to Fairlawn Cemetery. And, I'm sure to some of the other local cemeteries. The land was reclaimed as farmland and is now a wheat field on private property. There remains a few grave stones in the middle, those markers can be viewed on Okcemeteries website."
