The present project is to database the burials recorded in the original book.
----You can help the Grandview project by posting any information, corrections, ideas . I am especially looking for older photos of the cemetery, entry road and Fayette area to take digitals of and then return. iowaz@swbell.net

THE FIRST BURIALS IN in GRANDVIEW CEMETERY, FAYETTE, FAYETTE COUNTY, IOWA---
....Martha Alexander, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Robertson, age 14 at her death in 1853, was the first entry in the original record book. Martha is buried in Section A, Lot 57. This was probably late in 1853, as the second recorded burial was in 1854, with two burials that year, 12 in 1855, 6 in 1856, 6 in 1857, 2 in 1858, 10 in 1859, 6 in 1860, 4 in 1861, 5 in 1862, 3 in 1863, 6 in 1864, 16 in 1865, 10 in 1866, 11 in 1867, 18 in 1868, 24 in 1869, 27 in 1870.
....Like many pioneer areas, burials were not controlled and many people were buried in family plots on small farms and acreages as money and resources were often scarce. One would have to assume that from the late 1840's to 1855 and beyond burials were on private "places" in the Westfield and the Fayette valleys and hills. These places now unmarked and forgotten.
....By studying the number of burials at Grandview we can see that Fayette as a village remained quit small for the first years, until into the mid 1860's, when it would begin to increase slowly into a major supply, marketing, educational community for the surrounding farms. It would not be until the coming of the railroad in 1874 that the village would economically boom, like all of the other little towns in Fayette County on a railroad line. Transportation and commerce meant everything to economic and population growth.
....Many of the early deaths were infants, children.   About one in seven pioneer children died before age one and another one in seven did not reach adulthood. Every family could expect at least one death of a child. Death of women from infections resulting from childbirth were also more common.   Life was very physical with injury from wounds and crushing were common with the men. Medicine was still very basic and would remain so until after WW II.   Infections and diseases as cholera, typhus, small pox, scarlet fever, measles , consumption (TB), pneumonia, appendicitis, etc. were impossible to control.   On the other hand, for those that missed infection and injury, when all went well, often lived to a very old age. They were active and very productive.

THE ORIGINAL ENTRANCE---
....Grandview has been the major Cemetery for Westfield and Fayette since 1854. There have been three entrances to Grandview in its history.
....The original front of the cemetery was at the west end (just reverse of today), therefore one has to assume that the cemetery originally was entered from a trail/road which came from the Westfield area. And this would stand to reason as Westfield has an earlier history by several years compared to Fayette. There was a major ford across the Volga at Westfield with a trail going north to Knob Prairie (West Union) and southeast along the hill ridges then heading south. This trail would have been just to the northeast side of present Hwy 150 (in 2000) and would have run within only feet of the "front" of the land that would become the burial ground for both settlements in 1853.
....Why in 1853, burials were traveling all the way to present Grandview can only be speculated, as the distance from Westfield would have been about 1 1/2 miles and from the Fayette area about 1 mile. Also one would have to assume there were a few earlier burials, probably up in the hills around the villages.

THE COLLEGE HILL TRAIL---
....The eastern entrance off the College Hill Road was probably cut into the northern hillside shortly after Grandview was developed as this trail would have taken some effort to build by hand.   The start of the trail was half way up College Hill and then ran westward up the north face of the rocky hill/bluff and into what is now the midsection of the cemetery, and came out onto the hill top about 50 yards just to the east of the present "old" Chapel.

THE EARLY LAY-OUT OF GRANDVIEW---
....The first area of Grandview, or Section A, to have burials was to the west end of the present cemetery grounds or to the west of the Chapel. The Chapel was not present in the 1800's. Section A is the location of all early burials and the subject of this page. Burials were limited to Sections A, B, C, which ran east-west along the top of the hill overlooking Fayette to the north. The original cemetery road from the Fayette Valley ran east-west just to the north along the ridge overlooking Fayette.
....The actual front of Grandview until into the 1900's was the west end, thus when thinking about Section A and early Grandview, one must completely reverse the image of the cemetery and think from west to east. As stated earlier, the first and original entrance into Grandview would have been from the west end of the cemetery which led off the road that ran southwest across the hill ridges from Westfield to meet the College Hill road about a half mile south of the 1939 Entrance (The roads would have met about at Jack Fry's farm buildings in 2000, and then led off the the southwest toward present day Maynard and Oelwein.) This would have been the old gravel road of the mid-1900's, called Lover's Lane, running along Robertson's Woods, across the RR cut bridge, and joining Hwy 150. Almost all trace of this road is gone in 2000. The west entrance would have been used by the people in the Westfield Valley until into the 1860's and the College Hill trail by the people of Fayette and to the east.

DATABASE POSTING---
....We will be posting the database of early burials in Section A, as they were recorded in the original Grandview Book. The entry of the data takes a great deal of time, so the project will not be completed anytime soon, however data will be uploaded as it is posted on the database.

SECOND ENTRANCE TO GRANDVIEW--
....The second entry point into Grandview was the 1939 entry at the very top of College Hill. This entry was utilized for several decades and remained open until into the 1970's. The present gapping, abandon hole in the ground left by the quarry exploitation for limestone, today running right up the very edge of the west side of Grandview was not present until well into the 1900's. It was just a hill overlooking the area that would be the railroad yards from the 1870's.

THIRD ENTRANCE--
....The third and present entry into Grandview is westward beyond the 1939 entrance and runs through a row crop field into the cemetery, about half way between the top of College Hill to the east and the old Westfield Road to the west. The old Westfield Road be recognized along the west side of the cemetery by the succession of shrubs, small trees and forbs that are reclaiming any areas not presently being disturbed by human activity.

You are looking east from the original front of Grandview. Section A runs all the way to the the cemetery roadway just to the east of the Chapel.
....Lots in Section a were sold either as whole or half lots, and measure 16 ft north-south and 10 ft east-west, with a 4 ft separation zone between lots. From the front you are looking at 11 lots deep, followed by a cemetery road named Center Street, 16-17 ft wide, then another 10 lots deep. However, originally the back part of Section A was only 8 lots deep, then later two more rows were added to make the total lots increase from 240 to 264.
....In the section just to the left or north of the Chapel was a strip of un-plotted land about 25 ft deep with was utilized for unknown/unmarked graves of people without purchased lots.   One would have to speculate that the Chapel may be on early burials.
....Section A is 12 lots wide. Thus the plotted land in Section A is about 100 yards west to east and 75 yards north to south. In the early days there would have been a lot of natural habitat around the cemetery. Most of the large trees would be cut for wood by 1855-1860, but grasses and shrubs, with abundant wildlife would be everywhere. In 1853, this was a very natural habitat. Whites had only been in the area 4 or 5 years, and then very few were here.
....Within the first decade the area all around Grandview would be claimed and utilized for various forms of farming. In 1875 the area to the north in the Fayette Valley, just below Grandview would become a busy railroad yard and depot. And during the 1900's the hill from the cemetery to the cut would be removed for limestone.

Grandview Cemetery, Fayette, Iowa, Section "A" Burials
Section A, in reality was Grandview Cemetery in the early years. You have to erase your view of Grandview Cemetery today and just start over with a mental image.
....The road from Fayette to Grandview in the 1850's and for decades, was down Main Street south, making the jog over to the road that led up the hill out of town to Brush Creek and Oelwein, the College Hill Road.
....Half way up the rock, rough, rutty, steep dirt road, and on the right or west was an even more difficult road to traverse. It was the trail hand cut and dug along the north face of the hill at the southern edge of the Westfield/Fayette Valley. The Fayette entry road was built by men with spades, shovels, axe. Dirt and rock were hauled by ox teams and sleds.
....Eventually the slope of the hill trail would be leveled and a supporting wall of limestone blocks laid to keep the road from washing down the slope. The road angled up the north face at a degree of elevation which would allow a team of oxen or later horses to safely make the trip pulling a wagon with a wooden casket built by a local furniture maker containing the deceased.
....The Fayette road probably was built shortly after Grandview was plotted, with the main entrance from the road on the west end of Section A, leading from Westfield.
....The College Hill trail exited the top of the hill about 75 yards to the east of what is now the old Chapel or what would have been the back of Section A, and ran along the top rim of the hill to the west.
....The front of the Grandview in the early days was the far west end of the cemetery.
....In the early 1900's the east end of the cemetery became the "front" of the cemetery. So we must reverse our thinking when considering the 1800's burial in Grandview. Everyone traveled to the cemetery on the Westfield road or came up the trail from College Hill, exited at the crest of the hill and traveled to the west, along the north side of Section A. There was no Chapel at this time.
....There was a road that forded the Volga River at Westfield (just to the west of the new Hwy 150 bridge) and ran from Westfield along the crest of the hill to the southeast and quite near to the newly started Grandview in the 1850's. This road would have been the old Lover's Lane road that some older Fayette residents can still remember. New Hwy 150 runs close to some of its path and it did cross the hill at the point near the old railroad cut, which of course was not present until the early 1870's.
....Some of us can remember entering Grandview in the 1940's off the Old Cut gravel road into the west end of the cemetery, but by this time the east side had become the front of the cemetery.   It would have to assume that the easiest way into Grandview for the people living out in the Westfield area would have been along the old Lover's Lane route through Robertson's Woods, while the people in the Fayette Valley would have traveled the shorter route up College Hill and the cemetery trail along the north face.
....In the 1850's coffins were patched together by a family member or often a friend from either hand hewn boards or rough cut boards from the sawmill at Westfield. Nails were often very scarce and boards were pegged together. Or in some cases were a coffin was not available, the body was wrapped in cloth or hides. There were no concrete vaults.
....A grave was dug and the coffin or body lowered in. Often in winter the ground had frozen 2-3 feet deep and could not be broken with picks and shovels, so the burials were delayed until frost left in the spring. Early on, there were no embalming fluids. Bodies had to be buried rapidly if possible. Sometimes heavy lime dust was used to encase the body.  Lime was made locally in lime kilns, where huge amounts of wood was burned to heat local limestone, thus the heat would drive off the mineral impurities and and carbon in the stone, leaving a high concentration of calcium mineral rock which was pounded by hand using large malls into lime powder. The lime power could be used for making lime mortar, plaster, whitewash, disinfectant lime, etc. Actually the lime industry was often the only "chemical" manufacturing process in small mid-western pioneer farming villages.

Furniture Store/Hardware/Undertaking, NW corner of Water and Main St's., Fayette, 1898
The majority of the 1800 burials in Grandview were conducted out of this building.

....By the the mid-1860's Fayette had grown steadily but was far from a frontier boom town. When the railroad arrived in the mid-1870's Fayette County towns on the railroad boomed with agricultural commerce and would remain economically successful and prosperous until the big business era starting in the 1960's.
....By the late 1860's there was a large two story brick building constructed on the NE corner of Main and Water Streets, and it still stands today. This would function as a hardware, furniture maker, undertaking business for decades. Almost all early burials in Fayette after about 1865 were managed from this building. My GGrandfather Walter Eugene Hunt owned and ran that business from the mid 1870's to the mid 1890's. He was an accomplished furniture builder and craftsman, but like many in the business also ran merchandising in hardware and supplies and did the undertaking.
....Furniture builders were often undertakers because of the casket building. If anyone knows, I would be interested in how much lining of graves with limestone block might have occurred or when some other form of vaulting came into use. The Hunt's were all stone masons and vault building from stone may have been a possibility.
....When Grandview was first put into use there was still a great deal of virgin timber and prairie in the area. This hill top would have originally been under oak/hickory timber, which was rapidly cut for building timber and fuel by the nearby residents of the valley.   It generally did not take long for the pioneers to clear cut most timbered areas and leave them nude or plow and plant, as forest soil was easier to "break" then prairie soils with their dense root systems and wetness.

Section A Burials listed in sequential order by burial number and date; the original section and first burials.

....Burials without lot numbers (A 000) probably were buried in on-marked graves at the east end or back of Section A, in unmarked graves, or another location called Potter's Field. The location of Potter's Field is only speculation, it my have been farther back to the east or even to the south of Section A. It would have to be assumed some of these early unmarked graves were very near Section A, and thus probably in the area of some future section of Grandview. Whether these burials were removed, discovered, or ignored during future cemetery development if not known.

****
....Important, to help you understand the info below. I am placing on a database the information from the original book. Many times the writing is difficult to impossible in read, or there is incomplete information. I am entering the material just as it reads from the book, with the rare exception where I personally know there is an error or I know more about the individual situation. Thus there will be situations where I have changed the data to make it more accurate because of personal knowledge of a situation/name, etc.
....Name spellings are kept as close as possible to the way they are recorded, so you may see a variation from the burial name to the lot name, as those were two different records.
....Birth year in not recorded but interpreted from the age, which is usually listed.
....The lot number follows directly behind the section number. Then the lot owner is listed followed by the # of the burial, which is the sequence of burials through time, starting with Martha Alexander being the first burial in late 1853.
....Birth place and death place are generally not listed until the early 1900's, when more info will be recorded. Contact me by email if there is a birth/death place listed and you cannot determine which it is, and I will look it up.
....Likewise, death cause usually was not listed until into the early 1900's when more items were recorded. One note on death cause, "Consumption" was the term for TB, which seemed to be fairly common in young females in their late teens, when it was recorded.
....If there was something recorded in the "relatives" column it was recorded exactly as written.
....The notes area includes items recorded in the book which apparently may have often been other relatives, or close friends, plus sometimes explanations. In that column on the database, I included any little extra items of my own, or other information.****It is slow going, plus I am working on other things, so I will list the years posted to date at the start of the list.

(more to come when I get the time to work on posting data)

Hang a sharp right just under the leaves of the tree on the right side of the picture and you will be going west up the trail cut in the north face of the hill overlooking Fayette to the north. Follow the trail about a quarter of a mile and you will exist at the back (east) side of 1800's, Section A

Area boys playing on the road up College Hill in 1910. One of original entries into Grandview Cemetery would have been behind the lower leaves of the tree on the right side (west) of the picture. This trial into Grandview was quite steep, rough and rocky, until the hill was paved in the 1930's and became Hwy 150. The College Hill entrance was used unit the late 1930's and still in use into the late 1940's. In the picture below, taken in 2000, one can still see the remains of the original road winding up along the north face below the cemetery and entering near the Chapel area. I would like to have original memories to post of anyone who remembers the use of this entrance and road. I remember going up the road with my Grandmother Hunt in the 1940's in an old Ford, but shortly after that it became too rough for her to drive and the new 1939 entrance became the norm. However, many times we would park and walk up the old road, as her Strayer and Parsons parents had died in the early 1940's and were buried in the middle of Section A, thus the old road exited not far from their graves.

You are looking at the trail along the north face of the hill, after turning west off College Hill. Following the trail you will exit at the top near the east end or back of Section A. Once at Section A, say in 1860, you will see a cemetery trail called "North Road" for wagons running on the north side all the way to the front or west end. There is an road called Center Street running north and south right through the middle of section A, leading to the trail on the south side, called South road. The roads have a strip of land 16-17 feet set aside for use but are actually only as wide as two wagon wheels or about 7-9 feet in use.
