From Manhattan, take Highway 24 north, to where 24 turns left (west),and
Highway 77 comes from the west and turns north. Take 77, 2.5 miles north to Church
Road, County 392. Turn left (west) 1 mile. The cemetery is on the right (north) side
of the road. At one time a church was just west of the cemetery. The cemetery was
surveyed in August 1891 and was first known as the Grandview Methodist
Cemetery. It is now under the control of the Evangelical Fairview and
Grandview Cemetery Association. Mill Creek Cemetery was relocated in the
eastern half of this cemetery at the time of the Tuttle Creek Dam
construction. The bell and stone archway in the cemetery are from a Methodist
Church constructed in 1890 which was demolished for Tuttle Creek Dam. The
congregation salvaged the stone arch doorway of the vestibule and the 500
pound bell from the belfry and erected it here as a memorial.
