 | | The first burial place found in the vicinity of Council Bluffs, Iowa, was on a high bluff near the Mynster Spring, where were the bones of hundreds of people supposed to be of Indians, of all ages, and all mixed together, and covered only to a depth of from one to two feet. |
 | | Fairview, being the oldest and nearest, has as yet the greatest number of graves, especially of the old settlers. |
 | | At the northern part, on the highest point, is the soldiers' burial place, in the center of which is the KINSMAN monument, surrounded by the graves of his comrades. |
