Okay, here it is again. You didn't post in the wrong place. The site just appears to eat answers to the queries.
I have no way to email you privately since you are anoymous except through rootsweb or ancestry.
As you know Greenburg was hit by a tornado May 4, 2007 and the town is
basically gone. I image there was damage done to some of the cemeteries
also.
As you know the Fairview Cemetery suffered very little damage.
This is from another kind person on the mailing list
I was recently driving through Kansas and was going to take the highway
that goes through Greensburg. I visited there as a young girl and
always thought it was such a neat little town. I thought if possible, I
would at least gas up at the station that was operating to at least put a
little money in the economy. I found out that the town is still closed
to all but the local residents. You cannot get off the highway. They
have had policemen coming in from all over the state to keep the
non-locals out. You may want to see if you can contact someone locally to see if
you can even make it to the cemetery.
Good luck!
Anita

These are the only two of your surnames came up in Fairview Cemetery
search. I suggest you register at FAG and request a marker photo for each
of them. You can also add others and request marker photo for them
also.

You've also had a couple responses on the Mailing List by kind folks
who don't seem to understand how to answer queries from the Message
Board.
You can view them at the Mailing List Archives.

I imagine you may be on your own at the cemetery. People are trying to
rebuild and start their lives over again. Even if they had an excellent
Cemetery Association, they may be having to deal with other problems in
their lives at this time.
