Vandals tipped over and broke 40 headstones, some dating back to the 1800s. They caused $4,000 worth of damage, but didn't harm The Black Angel. A local businessman has donated $250 and challenged other businesses to do the same. Donations can be made to the city Parks and Recreation Office, 209 Pearl St., Council Bluffs, Iowa 51503. Be sure on any donation there is a notation that the money is to be used for the "Fairview Repair Fund." Mark
What happened at Fairview cemetery? I must have missed the original query. Barbara

It is horrible and why does the Parks and Recreation have control over the cemetery? I feel for those who have family buried in Fairview and I quick checked to see if the damage was done at Walnut Hill or St. Joseph's and we do have family at Fairview too so I am hoping that our graves were not in this disaster and feel so bad for those that are. I am sure I will hear if our graves were involved.

They were married in the state 'cause they both came over at different times with their own families. Christina's maiden name is what I am definately after the most and to see if there was more than one child in these families. Thank you again though.
