FAIRVIEW CEMETERY RECEIVES HISTORIC TEXAS
CEMETERY DESIGNATION
UPSCOMB, TX , JUNE 16,2004 :The Texas Historical Commission (THC) has
designated Fairview Cemetery as a Historic Texas Cemetery. The cemetery is located 11
miles north of Upscomb on hwy 305, turn east on co. rd. J and go 3.1 miles.:
The designation, reserved for cemeteries that are at least 50 years old and deemed worthy of
preservation for their historic associations, means an Affidavit of Designation for Cemetery
Purposes has been issued to the Fairview Cemetery and it has been recorded in the Lipscomb
County Clerk's office.
"The designation is a tool that will increase public awareness of these important cultural resources.
Such awareness and education are among the best ways to guarantee the preservation of a
cemetery," said Larry Oaks, executive director of THC.
Cemeteries hold valuable historical information. They are often the last reminders of early
settlements' historical events, religious beliefs, lifestyles and genealogy.
"Historic cemeteries serve as directories of early residents and reflect the cultural influences that
helped shape our state's communities," said Oaks. "The Historic Texas Cemetery designation
program Helps bring attention to these community treasures and the importance of their
preservation."
