Fairview Graphic



To navigate the Fairview Cemetery pages, use the menu dropdown at the top of each page

The Ruth Anne Dodge Memorial was placed right by Fairview, and I've yet to figure out why. The Dodge family are all buried at Walnut Hill in Council Bluffs, so that would have been the logical place for the memorial. There are more pictures of the Black Angel on the main page for my site; it has a menu item all its own.

But, here it is, and it's only a few feet from Fairview. This view looks down on the Black Angel, the name local legend has given it, in an unusual way. You never see the back of the statue which is a shame, because the wings are magnificent. A closeup is below the first picture.
