Historical Marker
     The Sonora Cemetery had its origin in 1872 with the burial of S. B. McBee, who is believed to be a child of pioneer settlers. Located adjacent to the site of the Sonora Community Church and School on a 3.5 acre lot, the burial ground covered more than seven acres by 1880. When a rail line was completed one mile west of the Sonora community in 1887, residents began to move to the new town of Fairlie. Containing more than 900 graves, the Sonora Cemetery continues to serve Fairlie and the surrounding area.
