The historic section of Fairview Cemetery is also known as the "South Section".
Save for the inscriptions, their headstones are identical, with the family name, "Trew", on the plinth, and the dove of peace in a medallion at the top, complemented by ivy leaves. Columns on each side support the cap with the medallion, and the inscriptions read:

And cheering comfort

His happy soul has winged its way
To one pure, bright, eternal day.
