Edgar Miller Grave

From Main, 2 miles east on U.S. 56, ½ mile north on 29, then ¼ mile east on a field driveway to Jones (Fairview) Cemetery. The story is that in 1864, during a summer of unrest on the Plains, 18-year-old Ed Miller rode horseback to find medical help for a woman in Marion. On his way home he was killed by Indians close to this location where he is buried. A small granite stone near a DAR marker indicates his grave. Others were later buried here as well, thus creating a cemetery.
