Fairview Cemetery
Shawnee, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma

Submitted & © by: Jim Woodruff

Fairview-Shawnee Cemetery is located on Harrison Street near the intersection of Harrison and Independence. You cannot enter from Harrison Street but must go east on Independence Ave. for one block and turn right (south) on Center Street and enter the backside of the cemetery from Center Street. This is a very large cemetery with several internal roads dividing it into sections. I have listed the graves within the various blocks. Starting with Block 1 near the southeast corner and ending with Block 19 on the northeast corner, I have labeled the blocks as they are labeled on the cemetery's metal signs. Within each block, I always number the monuments within the row from north to south and start with row number 1 in the northwest corner of that block. Example: B1-R5-4 would be the fourth grave from the north end of Row 5 of Block 1. B7-R6-6 would be the sixth marker from the north end of Row 6 of Block 7. Block 18 currently does not have any graves. This is a large cemetery and you may need help in finding a particular grave. There is an office at the northeast end of the cemetery that should be able to help. Phone (405) 878-1529.

Blocks 5 and 6 are each separated into two blocks by roads. Blocks 5A and 6A are on the west end and 5B and 6B are to the east of the road. Block 14 is also separated into two blocks by a road. 14S is to the south of the road and 14N is to the north of it. On the east side of Center Street, are Blocks 1NE (northeast), 1SE (southeast) and 2E (east).
