Inscription. Founded May 7, 1884, the Fairview Cemetery company barely survived as a business venture until 1899 when the benevolent Woman's Board of Trade and Library Association assumed operation. Near the turn of the century, the old Masonic-IOOF Cemetery downtown was condemned and many burials were moved here; earliest headstone is 1862. After the Woman's Board of Trade merged with the Santa Fe Woman's Club in 1930, the women continued to devote their time to Fairview's upkeep and beautification. This era of dedication ended in 1978 when it was given to the county of Santa Fe. In 1981 the Fairview Cemetery Preservation Association was formed to help preserve and maintain this site.

Erected 1984 by Santa Fe Historical Society.
