Union County, NC - Union Cemetery Union Cemetery About 1 mile off Hwy 601 North on Brief Road Copied by Otha B. & Frances Small Before 1992 From the cemetery files of Ann M. Price Site of Union Church organized in 1832 and in 1852 was renamed Bethlehem. It was the beginning of what is now Bethelehem Presbyterian Church on Hwy 601 North in Fairview NC. Many of the church records were lost when Elder John Long tried to cross Duck Creek in his buggy and was swept away by high waters. Elder Rex Hovey shared this information with me during my visit to the cemetery in September 2007. The cemetery is surrounded by a rock wall and is very well maintained. I am told this is the oldest cemetery in Union County with the earliest burial being Lydia Long in 1810. Clontz, Catherine Long Apr 7, 1762-Oct 9, 1838 W/o Jermiah Clontz Clontz, Hannah S.
