Location: Inside city limits of Fairfield. 1/2 mile E-SE of the Freestone County
courthouse in Fairfield.
Directions: To reach the Fairfield Methodist Cemetery (predominantly
African-American), one takes Reunion Street eastward to the Fairfield Cemetery
(white) with a sign at the gate. To reach the Methodist Cemetery, one drives
through this gate and proceeds along an asphalt topped path. The path proceeds
eastward and then southward. If one stops 50 or 100 yards after the path turns
south and looks to the east, the Methodist Cemetery will be visible. Or if one
drives off the path before it turns south and follows the unsurfaced path around
a big oak tree, it will lead directly into the Methodist Cemetery. On close
observation it will be clear that while the two cemeteries are in the same
general area, they have been separated from the beginning and until
recent years were separated by a fence.
Despite the fact that the two cemeteries are so close, these places are separate
cemeteries because they have the different funding sources and maintenance.
There are graves amongst the trees and along the stream. Do not look only in the
manicured lawn areas.
Associated Churches: This may seem odd since this is named a Methodist cemetery,
but some of the recent burial services are held at either Fairfield Missionary
Baptist Church on Huckaby Street in Fairfield or New Zion Baptist Church located
near the Post Oak community south of Fairfield.
Oldest Marked Grave: 1882 - either Lucy Blain or William Johnson
