Review:
Historic Woodlawn Cemetery has a unique and interesting history in Fairmont. The first man to ever be buried there was Joseph Hamilton in 1875 when his gun went off and killed him. When the young man was buried right on the spot, the cemetery took root. Today, there are over 11,000 graves for guests to visit. There are many prominent names from the area buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, but if there is someone that needs to be found, in particular, volunteers can find out where every individual is buried. This, of course, comes with a small donation to the perpetual care foundation that keeps the cemetery looking pristine.
