Welcome to Loop 4 of the Fair Oaks Virtual Walking Tour. We call this the "Digger Loop"
after Ray "Digger" Young, the long time manager of the Fair Oaks Cemetery District
who has supported the Fair Oaks Historical Society over the years and has been very
enthusiastic about this project. He and his staff provided much of the material
included in this loop. He retired November 1, 2017 and will be greatly missed.
This loop is a virtual walking tour of the Fair Oaks Cemetery, and
the notable families of historic Fair Oaks that are buried here. Many other prominent
founders of Fair Oaks are buried in other cemeteries in the area or in their family cemetery
in the cities and towns from which they came, so this is not an exhaustive list.
It does, however, represent a cross section of the original settlers and we include
their stories.
Please use due care for your own safety. Do not touch
or approach headstones or markers, equipment or workers.
