WILLISON - died 28 February 1896 There were approximately 7 fieldstones where the writing was completely gone. This Cemetery was viewed and the visable markers were transcribed on 3 October 1998 by the following: Tom and Sharon Banzoff of Williamsport, Maryland Kenneth Burdette of Thurmont area, Maryland Mark Dodd of Elizabeth Pennsylvania Chris Beachy of Gambrills, Maryland Kathy Beachy of Gambrills, Maryland Sarah Beachy of Gambrills, Maryland Connie Beachy of Swanton, Maryland This group met on the Allegany County Email List. Prior to entering the cemetery permission was obtained from Greg Smith,the son of the property owner, Lawrence Smith. We were given permission to enter the property and to examine all of the stones. However, Mr. Smith adamantly refused to let us do any type of maintenance work. He claims he and his father made the old sign which says "In Memory of Fairview Cemetery." Fairview Cemetery was originally established by Fairview Methodist Church which also sat on the Smith property but is no longer visable. Hilary Farmer Willison, in his book, "Pioneer Settlers of Flintstone, 1908" notes the names of many more people than we found stones for. It would appear that Maryland law must be changed before any group might attempt to resurrect this wonderful old cemetery.
