Fairview Park Cemetery, Grady County, Oklahoma Sandi Carter Updated 17 Jul 2021 Return to Grady County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/grady/grady.html ========================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ========================================================================== FAIRVIEW PARK CEMETERY Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma Fairview Park Cemetery is located on 29th Street and Georgia outside of Chickasha, Grady, OK. Originally, six acres of this cemetery was bought as a Roman Catholic burial ground on 17 December 1908 by Reverend A. M. Urban DeHasque, the pastor of Holy Name (of Jesus) Church in Chickasha. It’s in deplorable condition now with only a few gravestones left. Some people were moved to Rose Hill Cemetery. Other graves were plowed over in order to farm! We are hoping something is done so that what is left of this sacred burial ground is saved from being plowed over. The land now belongs to the Chickasha School System. Below is a list of some of the people buried at Fairview Park Cemetery. Not all names or dates are known.
